I don't mind the gov't using "the full weight of its power" to collect true
debts, like people who live gluttunously then have to go on the dole, or even personally in my own case, the way they came after me for outstanding student loans! I won't get into details, but man, what a nightmare! I'm still fighting for the last four years worth of tax returns!
But like you said, for things like a simple "fine" or "penalty" which is a revenue generator and not actually a deficit run by someone at some point should not be so heavily enforced. Imagine losing a lucrative contract because on the way to the meeting or jobsite you got pulled over for no valid registration and the cop decided to be a dick about it...
