You’re assuming the fines will be scaled up to hurt everyone as much as they hurt broke people. They should be benchmarked against somewhere in the middle class, scaled down for poorer people and up for richer.
Fines should be punishing but not devastating. At least not for speeding.
Again in theory it sounds great. However you can not realistically put something like this on paper because a good lawyer would tear it apart.
Inal but I can think of several reason and scenarios why this wouldn’t be fair. There are way too many situations that people deal with that affect their income and saying if you make X amount of money you must pay more for no reason other than you are successful is discrimination.
Many young people don’t understand this but when there are rules in place, they need to apply equally to everyone, even the ultra wealthy. The fact that they aren’t isn’t a problem with the law, it is a problem with our police and public officials. Take it up with them instead of fixing something that isn’t broken. If it isn’t being done correctly now, what makes you think putting higher fines on rich people is gonna fix it?
“Being rich” isn’t a protected class. That’s not discrimination lol lol. We already structure taxes like this lawfully.
Taxes are not the same as fines. I swear some some democrats have such a hard on for “rat the rich” you will give up your own rights to fuck with some one else.
You can’t target one group of people and expect no repercussions. Here is a relevant quote:
“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.” —Martin Niemöller
It’s easy to point at another group of people and say they are the problem. Why don’t you look in the mirror and ask yourself what are you doing to fix the problem
