Considering the cost of living in that area $46k seems not rich. Also how would they know how much you make? Seems a poorly considered plan…
You’re going to have beater cars clogging the downtown.
46K isn’t rich in East St. Louis…
“Also how would they know how much you make?”
Shhhhh, you shouldn’t ask that question. But since you did, the answer is easy - look at your California Tax Return. And if you don’t have a California Tax Return, you get charged the money, unless you can be PROVE you make under $46k. Here are the ways:
1. Submit a copy of your federal return, along with filling out Form 8821 to allow verification of such return. If unable (maybe a non-US resident) or did not file, then one of the following:
2. Prove you are here illegally
3. Prove you are a full-time student
4. Prove that you are neither white nor Asian.
That should cover most of the situations.
They imagine that they have a "legitimate interest" which overrides your "so-called right to privacy."

The point is to hit the middle class. Anyone poorer than that probably doesn’t drive anyway. People making ten times that amount won’t be hurt much. They are leftists and the left doesn’t believe in having a middle class.
