Freedom of movement != being stopped at a border

One simple example, when you come back from an international trip to your native country you still need to go through the border even though you have freedom of movement there



If you're totally free to travel, why do they check people at the border? I'm pretty sure that they can refuse entry (else I'd like to see a source that they cannot). As such, not free to move.

Because even though you have the right, some people don't. And they only know which is which after you present your documents.

I guess the only case in when they can refuse entry is if you are wanted by police or something (or maybe not even then)
