A bunch of strawman and other logical fallacies I hope people don't fall for. "Okay, what's your answer to that? Don't give poor people tickets for breaking the law / fine them less? Bzzt. Unconstitutional on its face because equal protection, regardless of how you view the 99%/1% class warfare issue." How about just not charging such ridicilous fines, and stop creating warrants for peoples arrests because they haven't payed a fucking fine? How about that there Mr. I kowtow to the totalitarian master?

stop creating warrants for peoples arrests because they haven't payed a fucking fine Our entire legal system (and indeed the legal system of most countries) is based on incremental punishments for further noncompliance. You break the law, you get fined. You don't pay the fine, you lose the associated privilege. You ignore that loss, you go to jail. This is necessary to ensure compliance. Without this, the law may as well not exist because people can violate it with absolute impunity. How about just not charging such ridicilous fines "Ridiculous" in the case of someone below the poverty line could be as small as a $20-$50 speeding/parking ticket. The snark is not necessary or welcome, thanks.
