Not that odd if you think about the propensity of our politicians to pretend they are acting on problems when they actually only care about staying in place.

They do not have the manpower to conduct id checks everywhere.

So they order checks where they can easily be performed.

This way le bon peuple believes the state is acting for the common good.
