Records and documentation symbolize the police state’s disregard for personal agency or privacy. During Jason’s time of anonymity, he realizes that his lack of ID and documentation will be seen as an affront to the power of the police state. The police’s sudden fascination with Jason is motivated by a desire to establish bureaucratic ownership over Jason as a person.
