You shouldn't claim to know who does and who doesn't commit crime based on how wealthy are or were they.

  It's more about rational self-interest. Do the wealthy regularly steal bread from the grocery store? Probably not. The risk-reward profile is all wrong - they have many much easier ways to make money. I suppose you're right that I don't know this for a fact, I'm saying the incentives are wrong.

    The way I see it, wealthy people have: more ability to evade being caught and they can operate on a scale that exceeds capacity of ordinary police. Their risks are also somewhat diminished because they have some way to persevere and something to fall on, even with a hefty fine. I imagine that there are people parking in illegal places every time because the fine is marginal to them. All I'm saying is that the way I see it, there's no correlation between wealth and affinity to crime.
