if that's the case, then are you suggesting the fines should be bigger, since 46% of the population doesn't seem to care about the current fines?

- anigbrowl 15y agoNo, I'm just introducing this to give you an idea of why those bizarrely large fines exist in the first place. The economic theory is that law should incentivize people to act a certain way, and that if the odds of prosecution are low than the deterrent effect has to be made up on the sentencing side instead. I don't really know what the 'right' policy is.
