Does it? It doesn't seem reasonable to me to effectively ban a non-criminal citizen from the economy and from civic life, not even for "just" six months, no matter how "irresponsible" the citizen is.

Perhaps. It is a little hard for me to gage.

The non criminal part in all this does carry serious weight with me, and on that basis I agree more with you.

It is harsh. It does not need to be.
