I've read that local Police regularly checks foreigners' Uzbek visas in the Tashkent Metro.

Is this true? And what would happen if you didn't have you passport with you? Would you simply be refused entry to the Metro, or would the Police accompany you to the Hotel, or would they outright arrest you and call the hotel to verify one's immigration status?
