  Alright there might be a little bit of capitalism at play. Fines so low they encourage people to just pay them.

  Too steep and people will either avoid the infraction or dodge paying altogether.

  So this is literally a rich people get to be assholes fee.

    Where is it, Finland, that has fines as a percentage of income?

    I think it’s a great policy
