The police had the right to check the documents, but not to photograph them. Ukrainian legislation does not provide for the right of the police to photograph identity documents. The police can take a photo of your passport only if there are grounds to believe that you have committed or intend to commit an offence.
The answer is informational and does not replace a full legal consultation. For a detailed analysis of your situation, contact a lawyer directly.
