That's the word I was looking for. What about if the penalty was in some way proportional to the wealth/income of the perpetrator?

- Jtsummers 11y agoI don't know the answer to that. Perhaps some more research is in order, I imagine that countries and societies that have this actually codified may already have implemented something like this.
- JupiterMoon 11y agoNot the same thing but somewhat related. Some European countries have fines for e.g. traffic offences that are proportional to you income for the year the offence is committed in. I think that this works quite well in terms of meaning that rich and poor have the same disincentive not to speed.
