The appropriate amount is one that makes the poor and rich alike avoid the behavior. If you set a crime with a flat fine you have only decided that it’s a cost

The appropriate amount is one that makes the poor and rich alike avoid the behavior.
If you set a crime with a flat fine you have only decided that it’s a cost for the rich and a barrier for the poor.
You can have the opinion that this an ok and appropriate situation and I will retain my opinion of anyone who agrees with that situation
- zdragnar 1y ago> The appropriate amount is one that makes the poor and rich alike avoid the behavior. Well, you suggested the percentage based fines, I'm curious what you think that would look like. 0.5%? 2%? Should I lose my home if I'm underwater on my mortgage?
- lovich 1y agoDo we take your home from people who can’t pay traffic fines? I already gave you the real world example of Finland as a better system than we have now and you want to ask about if the rich would be homeless. Go look up how Finland does their % based fines for things like traffic offenses then return with specific questions if you have them. Otherwise just tell me you disagree with my statement instead of JAQing off
