Can an order be made to surrender your passport if you don't even have one?

@Northwest That 'clavicular' mensmaxxing gross guy is accused of raping a 17 y/o at his parents house and has been ordered to surrender his passport. We just wondered if authorities actually check a person has one first before making such an order, or if it's just presumed everyone has one?

@mksworld Braden Eric Peters is reported to have travelled internationally in the news. The Prosecution usually does discovery and ask for a passport, but it's largely an "honor" system, but the defense attorney could be disbarred if they claim there is no passport and that turned out to be true.

@mksworld Oh d4mn, I didn't know this was about someone specific.
What I said though is true in general but with these rich b4stards, influencers, etc, we already know they never get more than a slap on the wrist for their crimes.
That is assuming the stories of their crimes are not fabricated or exaggerated.

@SunSetStrut You, Yes, Australian authorities can legally stop you from leaving the country for a holiday if you have significant unpaid government or tax debts, a bankrupt person can only leave with permission from the bankruptcy trustee, the Child Support Registrar can issue a Departure Prohibition Order (DPO) that legally stops you from leaving the country for a holiday

@SirNedKelly Yeah it is the same way in America.

But yeah all I was saying was that they cannot take a passport that someone doesn't even have, but they can stop someone from getting one.
