Orthodox Jew not required to carry ID

RNW, 18 February 2012

A Dutch judge has annulled the fine an Orthodox Jewish man had been given for failing to carry the mandatory identity card.

The man had been searched in the town of Rijswijk on a Saturday and fined 150 euros. In his defence, the man argued that his religion forbids him to carry anything with him outdoors on the Sabbath (Saturday). The judge in the The Hague ruled that the man’s religious duty came before his obligation to meet the country’s legal requirements.
