Why not parking fines? They can be set in day fines as well.
- Ekaros 4y agoI think average people would thing that they would be too high for the crime. Minimum day fine for someone without income is 6€. Now parking fine is I think depending locations is 20-80€. So you tell that this incomeless person parked the car. And we have set it at 5 day fines so 30€ at low end. On other hand day fine for median earner is around 35 €. Which would mean 180€ parkin fine. Most would think that to be excessive.
- masklinn 4y ago> Most would think that to be excessive. But is it? Alternatively, provide two values and select whichever is higher e.g. "30€ or 1 day", this method is common with corporate crimes (e.g. "1 million or 1.5% global revenue", that sort of things). Even if you're on the low end of incomes a day in jail would hurt a lot for a parking fine.
