1Article 5 of the Schengen Borders code provides that “external borders may be crossed only at border crossing points” (with some exceptions that do not apply here) and that member states should define sanctions that are “effective, proportionate and dissuasive.” Nothing more specific and no measures against walking close to the border or taking pictures. The rest would be specific to Hungary. It might be worth editing the question to focus it more narrowly on this.– RelaxedCommented Jun 6, 2020 at 17:35

3If you're seriously concerned about criminal consequences, you probably ought to be talking to a lawyer instead of a travel Q&A website. For instance, a lawyer might tell you that it is not in your best interest to be "confessing" your actions on a public website, even if you think you are anonymous.– Nate EldredgeCommented Jun 6, 2020 at 18:53

1@MartinSmith: Since OP is an EU citizen, there is apparently an EU scheme whereby Hungary can have OP's home country execute the fine, more or less automatically. ec.europa.eu/info/law/cross-border-cases/judicial-cooperation/…– Nate EldredgeCommented Jun 6, 2020 at 23:01

3I’m voting to close this question because its a legal question with only an incidental connection to travel.– user105640Commented Jun 7, 2020 at 12:27

2They probably laughed because even they didn't agree with the law. I'm not sure about this, but Hungarian BTK's 353/A. § (5) E a) or b) might be against what you did. (see net.jogtar.hu/jogszabaly?docid=A1200100.TV link in Hungarian of course) Basically helping illegal immigration is illegal itself, and spying on the border could fit into this category. Asking you to delete those pictures saves you from the consequences (if they wanted to press charges they would've seized your phone, 1 year of jail btw) and them (in case you published them somewhere and the guards' boss found those).– NyosCommented Jun 18, 2020 at 18:26

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. air-travel), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
