Currently, in Ireland we put people in prison for not having passports. We have people in detention right now for that exact reason, so I wonder how we are going to ensure that does not happen. The reference to misleading authorities is a concrete point if a person does not have documents but is there a definition provided? Are criteria listed for what constitutes "misleading information"? Could it be a date of birth? It could be arbitrarily applied if it is not actually laid out. Has it been laid out?
