That’s not true at least in the UK and Germany fines are issued essentially on the stop for every violation even questionable ones.

- detaro 8y agoSource? From what I know, the German DPAs (they are organized on state level) hand out like 2 fines per month each, generally way below the maxima (under old German law, the max was 300000 €), and concluding the majority of cases without a fine. E.g. from the Bavarian DPA (german doc: https://www.lda.bayern.de/media/baylda_report_07.pdf https://www.lda.bayern.de/media/baylda_report_07.pdf, page 151): in the years 2015-2016 they had 173 proceedings that could involved potential fines. 52 of those resulted in fines. 34 of those fines were <1k€, 13 were <10k€.
