The concept used is one of "day fines" You get a certain number of day-fines, proportional to your income. A fine is supposed to hurt everyone equally.tboy said:ACtually, when you think about it...is it really?
For eg: a regular speeding ticket to a millionaire is what, about as inconvenient as buying a stamp?
But $30K, that will make him think twice about speeding again....
I know I know, it brings up all kinds of legal arguments about how there should be ONE law for all, rich or poor.....but you KNOW that isn't the case (for eg: those two rich brats who killed the cab driver while racing) and anyone remember a case about OJ Simpson? He bought that one......
