Sorry, my comment was too vaguely written, but I meant to imply that it won't be the government that does this, but regular people enforcing social norms.

"Thieves and junkies", they say. Forgetting completely "people with dignity" - also because that image is fading from aggregate memory.

That would not work at all in many countries. There are some with a strong attachment to cash.
