I've heard of that...fines that are determined by the violator's income.

Another form of progressive taxation.

He should hire a driver. Pay them 5 dollars and hour. Such a driver can drive 100MHP and get a very small fine.

Now, that’s what I call a speed trap!

They’re waiting for a really expensive car right behind the change in speed sign.

Maybe the person in Finlad was in a hurry to get to a rest room.

First you’re Russian
Then European
And finally Finnish.

…The world record for the most expensive speeding ticket fine ever [$1 million] goes to a Swedish driver in Switzerland in 2010. The unnamed man drove his Mercedes SLS AMG sports car at a speed of 180 mph (290 kph)…

This is asinine and what you get when communist retards get into politics and think all rich people just magically discovered their wealth.

This trains the populace to BE dumb because then the government won’t punish them.

I've seen jackasses speeding through residential streets where children were playing.
I would not be an impartial juror.

As much as I’d like to believe it couldn’t possibly happen, I look around at what’s going on in CA (my home state) and must, incredibly, believe it could.

I got a speeding ticket in Iceland as I was slowing down for a roundabout. Cost me $200. I think they target tourists.

For a fraction of that $129,400, someone can make sure that police officer never shows up to testify.

Switzerland, which is hardly a socialist country (no minimum wage!) holds the record with a $1 million speeding ticket. The idea is to deter antisocial conduct by rich people. You can’t do it with a $100 fine.
