I genuinely and unironically think vandalism like this should be grounds for cancellation of your passport for a while in addition to all other penalties (say, for 5 years). If you can't play nice, you're grounded and you don't get to visit other countries until you grow up.

For countries needing a passport, this might work, but in the EU? This won't make much difference.

You still need your passport to fly or travel outside the EU so it would have some affect.

Yes, but wat less. Most people don’t travel outside of the EU often
