Kernrechtsfrage
Whether ordering a military-tax debtor to report to barracks and be taken there by police to work off the debt violates the constitutional ban on debt imprisonment.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. The measure entails deprivation of liberty used as enforcement for a monetary debt that is not a criminal penalty, so it falls within the constitutional prohibition of debt imprisonment.
Extrahierte Begründung
Although the persons concerned are not locked in a closed room, reporting to a military facility and possible police transport and retention there still amount to a deprivation of liberty. Because the deprivation serves to enforce payment of a monetary military-tax debt rather than a punishment, the constitutional elements of debt imprisonment are fulfilled.
