They say that the system helps to punish for violating traffic laws or evading taxes. But why police and courts cannot deal with this? Maybe because the real purpose is something else?

Also, in some countries there are similar systems, where your rights might be restricted without court's judgement or right for appeal.

In other countries there are no-fly lists or potential terrorists lists which restrict people's rights without being able to defend themselves.
