Ah, deductions. So they will not be stripped of their valuables.


Neither will you in Denmark. It's the same approach.

This is what's so sad about this whole story. It's taken completely out of it's context and presented as if danish police are standing there waiting to strip people of their values before they enter the country.

Thats not how it is nor the intent.


I accept that the situation may be misrepresented, but your own link states otherwise:

Police can seize cash over 10,000 kroner [..] as well as individual items [..] such as watches, mobile phones and computers

money and valuables will be confiscated on arrival [..] Assets discovered at a later stage [..] may also be taken

So if the BBC article is inaccurate about the Danish situation, I don't think you should assume it is any more correct about the Swiss, Dutch or German situation.
