Fear,made his decision, mongering and resentfulness he felt directed towards him, and those like him. That, distrust was reflected back, by his thinking that he be arrested renewing, so in his mind not renewing was lower risk.

Not criminal activity.

I understand your point, but on the other hand the government doesn't give me any pass if I am late on anything. On the other hand if you are considered a minority or immigrant federal, state and local bureaucracies are very understanding in enforcing the rules.
