Passports

[philrose]

The Jandarma would never go into a bar in Fethiye as far as I know Jacqui.

Well only if they were thirsty  
But seriously you are right Jandarma are responsible for the security of the out of town areas...

The lady that wrote was an ex-pat and later a tourist wrote to say she was in the bar.  Also there was an ex-pat from Koca Calis who said it happened in her local bar with the Police.  I can only tell you what I read.  If I can find the postings I will copy them here.
 
We were going to Hisaronu and the Jandarma had pulled over a mini bus and we saw the people all queuing up with their I.D's

I was on a Fethiye Seyahat bus back from Antalya last week. We were stopped outside of Kemer by the Jandarma. They asked to see all ID cards/passports. They took a passenger off and let us get on our way. Not sure if they were searching for him or just got lucky!!!.

How did it happen? In the main area, in a shop?
Pulled off her shoulder?
This is really worrying.

I'm a little confused. If we are tourists/expats, do we have to carry any ID ( driving license, residence card, national ID) or does it have to be passport. I won't be comfortable carrying my passport everywhere.
Anyone has idea what's the fine is?

Yes it is a legal requirement to carry your passport. No idea what the fines are as they seem to vary with the different authorities...

I have read posts on T.A. From Tourists and the Fine vary  the cheapest was 100TL the most up to now was 400TL.   The guy that paid 400TL was furious as he said no one told him he had to carry his passport around and came to T.A to warn others and to complain about his treatment by the Police.

So about the same (or less) than the fine for having a fag in a UK hotel.
