How do you propose we make fine-based punishment an equal punishment regardless of financial means?

That's a good question, but I think the fine based punishment model within a monopolistic institution is a poor model to begin with. I admit it isn't an easy problem to solve, but the above method is crap, imo, and will produce extremely negative results for many more people over the long term.

I think privilege and access control with competing providers gives better incentives and results. Though it's not like we can just overnight implement something like that.

I’m not a fan of the $130k speeding ticket either, but what is a deterrent if it doesn’t deter? What is a law if it only applies to the poor? Perhaps time is the great leveler? I could get down with more community service if properly randomized and administered.
