Is there a theory of law that the government agency must focus on the task its been assign and not enforce laws outside its realm?
To give you some examples.
There are some states which give illegal aliens driver licences(I'm not condoning this or any illegal behavior) however when challenged on this, it came down to something like " Well the DMV job is to see if you can drive not to investigate if you are illegally"
I think there was also a situation in where illegal aliens wanted public school education even when they are not authorized to even be in the country and just being here is a crime. I think the outcome was something like " Oh the school board job is to educate the people in the community not determine of those people are here illegally",etc...
I believe Hospital ER rooms can't deny a person services because there are here illegal? There are a lot of tax payer funded good and services being provided to people who are not even suppose to be in this country and are violating law by being here but my question is focus on if a government agency can use a violation of one law or wrong doing to deny services?
To give you a another example, I believe in my college there was a student who had this diploma withheld because he(or a relative) had a bunch of unpaid parking tickets on campus. He paid his tuition, pass all the required classes but some parking ticket issue was causing them to withhold what he earned.
Does this theory have a name in which one agency attempts to deny services based on some wrong doing outside that agency's jurisdiction?
For example, could a government agency withhold a public records request because you have an unpaid parking ticket or property tax,etc..?
Is there a theory of law that you can say they like exceeded their authority or that one thing have nothing to do with the other? Or are these kind of things only allowed for cases involving illegal aliens?
Thanks.
