Going to court march 9 . DUI conviction . Pleading guilty. Going to Dominican April 5. Will I be able to travel or will my passport be revoked.

A passport is merely an ID, it does not get revolked for almost any crime unless the judge orders that you turn it in ( and that is normally while on bail so you can't leave the country)

Your issue will be getting visas to enter various nations, each country has different rules

If you are green card holder, and the charge is not misdemeanor, you may have problem entering US. Consult immigration attorney asap.

Sorry Chuck. You're mistaken

Your passport does not belong to you. It belongs to your guberment, who increasingly uses it as a way to control it's population (formerly citizens), mostly to extract money and rob you of freedom and human rights.

The best example of violation of not only our American citizenship, but violation of Universal Human Rights (UN General Assembly Resolution 217A (III) of 10 December 1948) is the revocation of passports because you owe back child support in excess of $5000 (42 U.S.C. § 652(k)) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/42_USC_652(k).

Article 13 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (aka UDHR, http://www.udhr.org/UDHR/default.htm) clearly states:

(1) Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each State.

(2) Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country.

Despite being a party to the UDHR in 1948, the United States regularly passes and enforces laws that violate laws they've already passed. We have so many laws now that it's easy to find many examples of conflicting, unconstitutional, and immoral laws being passed and enforced. We can't reconcile the laws together in any sensible way, especially in the framework of our Constitution. (1974 Privacy Act v 2003 Patriot Act).

What we have become is a nation that passes situational legislation when politically expedient that empower the guberwent to act well beyond their constitutional authority. This is almost always to the detriment of our fundamental constitutional freedoms and now, our universal human rights.

What may have seemed like a good idea for judges to enforce court orders on deadbeat dads will inevitably morph into a snare for all free Americans. What's to stop politicians and judges from passing and enforcing additional laws, or even "administrative rules" that revoke your passport for collection of, let's say a credit card debt? We already have precedent in court cases where passports were revoked and travel denied to an individual, even though the travel was part of his religious practice (protected by the 1st Amendment). The courts used the web of conflicting laws to deny this citizen his right to freedom of religion (primary right and law) based on all kinds of secondary and conflicting laws--laws which the guberment enacted to broaden it's own power and authority. And, it's working. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weinstein_v._Albright

We boast of how the computers of 1948 that filled rooms were less powerful than cell phones that fit in our pocket. When it comes to the law, it's just the opposite. The powerful principles and laws that founded this nation (that could once fit in your pocket) are now diluted in a ocean of multilateral, multi-governmental legislation that takes law libraries many rooms to contain.

Is it extortion to deny a citizen a universal human right so that we can get child support money out of them? If not, where does the line get drawn? Do we deny and revoke passports for back taxes? Unpaid liens? How about allowing credit card companies, collection agencies and credit bureaus to ability to petition the state department to deny and revoke passports over delinquent debts? That seems like an absurd notion, but we allow what is materially the same thing to be done over unpaid child support?

Just think about it. And let your family, friends and neighbors know what's really going on with their freedoms.
