It does make sense in the context where it happens. The state is in the position of requiring people to do things but having no leverage on them.

A person on welfare is theoretically being given the minimum they need by the state. Therefore it can't take anything away from them.

True. But fine him and he'll definitely have less. Ultimately, treating people who are entirely dependent on the state as if they are free men is impossible. But they have to pretend.
