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.
