But we don't have a 'papers please' society. Other European nations do. France is famous for the population's general contempt and occasional beheading of authority but they have national ID cards, it's the law to have your driving licence with you when driving, they have COVID passes as mandatory and in lockdown you literally had to carry a paper with you to justify being outside.
I think for the best example of the difference you should look at the population's general relationship with the police and that of other countries. Much less hostile on both sides and it's better for everyone.
