This happened to me, in East Germany. I'm sorry it happens now in the Land of the Free.


I've always wanted to ask people who lived in East Germany: what similarities and differences do you see with the modern American surveillance infrastructure?


Parent commenter probably didn’t live in East Germany, it’s the visitors’ cars that were searched.


Yes, I’m Polish American and was traveling from West Germany to Poland. It wasn’t so bad once we bribed them. It turned-out the guards just wanted Marlboros, Johnny Walker, and US dollars. We still had to reassemble the Mercedes.


That's absolute bullshit. The police in Germany need a search warrant to take your car apart. Unless you give them permission to do so.


They refer to the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) that likely had different rules


Yes, I recall that the GDR exhibited some minor differences from its neighbor across the wall.


Police in Germany regularly pulls regular coach service aside to some warehouse and searches in detail everyone's posessions on them. It tends to happen close to borders but not necessarily. It happened to me close to xmas in 2008, people had to unwrap their christmas gifts... I try to fly instead since. Border police are no joke


German border police and Customs (Zoll) have a right to stop and search within 50 km of the border.

Is the feature gone, the one where I use my local library card to access an online book for 2 weeks if no one else has it currently?


From TFA: In the end, the fight led to more than 500,000 books being removed from the Archive’s “Open Library.”

Good chance the book you wanted is gone at the least


That sounds right. I checked on some listings of books that I thought would be cool to check out, but it still keeps saying how borrow in unavailable except for patrons with print disabilities. For the books I'm interested in, at least we can see scans of the front and back covers, and also a little bit of the table of contents.


I hope Anna's Archive kept a copy.


Most of the IA’s ebook collection still supports controlled digital lending, just like every other library that operates an ebook lending system with CDL.
