“Though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back… she would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.” - Aslan, C.S.

PC-77538: When Bureaucracy Mistakes Possession of Documents for a Revolution

Summary: A legal exchange in which the Turks and Caicos Government attempted to confiscate a woman’s passport — apparently mistaking family travel records for sedition.

I. What Happened

On 23 October 2020, the Department of Social Development decided that a family passport represented a national security risk.
The mother, Polly Chromatic, submitted evidence showing that her last international travel occurred in 2016 — a perfectly unremarkable fact that became, in the government’s hands, an existential crisis.

F. Chambers responded with commendable diplomacy, declaring the proposed seizure:

“An overreach and a likely violation of your constitutionally enshrined rights and freedoms.”

One suspects this sentence was typed through clenched teeth.

II. What the Document Establishes

• That the Turks and Caicos bureaucracy operates on the presumption that ownership of a passport is a crime.
• That constitutional literacy among public officials is treated as optional, like sunscreen or ethics.
• That the state’s obsession with control extends naturally to its citizens’ right to breathe, move, or possess stationery.
• That no one in the Department appears to know the difference between child protection and immigration control.

III. Why SWANK Logged It

Because a passport seizure request is the administrative equivalent of a tantrum.
Because nothing illustrates the pathology of petty authority quite like its fear of documentation.
Because this episode reveals the colonial hangover in its purest form: bureaucrats still behaving as if motherhood requires state permission to exist.

SWANK archived it as a monument to farce — a single paragraph of legal sanity surrounded by governmental hysteria.

IV. Applicable Standards & Violations

• Constitution of the Turks and Caicos Islands (2011) — rights to liberty and movement, ceremonially ignored.
• Human Rights Act 1998, Art. 8 — privacy, breached by obsession.
• Vienna Convention on Human Rights — violated, footnoted, and forgotten.
• Common Sense — long deceased.

V. SWANK’s Position

This is not “child protection.”
This is bureaucratic paranoia wearing a lanyard.

We do not accept the seizure of identification as a substitute for evidence.
We reject the weaponisation of process against personal liberty.
We will continue to document the colonial theatre of overreach until due process reacquires its passport.
