“Just make the fines based on percent of income. Around here a speeding ticket equals 1-1/2 days income for the average citizen. Make the sting equal across the board.”

Sorry, makes too much sense...

You might want to look at Finland (IIRC) where they do this. Results in $100,000 traffic tickets and police target the well-to-do. We do NOT want to enable any form of means-testing. Do we want what we pay for anything to be based on our income or net worth? I am certain we don’t.
