Today As a foreign student in Georgia, I'm losing confidence in the police. Constant TRC checks, but where's the focus on real crimes?

I'm an international student in Georgia, and I've been stopped multiple times just for TRC checks. During one incident, it honestly felt like we were being singled out because we were Indian, while others were checked differently. Whether that's official policy or not, that's how the experience came across.

What frustrates me even more is hearing about foreigners going missing or facing serious incidents, yet it feels like the authorities spend far more time checking documents than addressing the crimes people are actually worried about.

I understand that ID checks are part of policing, but when you're repeatedly stopped while major safety concerns seem unresolved, it becomes difficult to feel protected. Has anyone else—especially international students or foreigners in Georgia—had similar experiences? Or am I the only one who feels this way?
