...day-fine programs typically lead to more people actually paying their fines...

If your criteria is "funding the government" this concept is wonderful.

BUT if your criteria is maximizing GDP of the nation, a guy earning $20/hr spending a lot of time looking for a parking place is no big deal, while a guy making $500k/year can just decide to park in an illegal spot, pay the fine, and the country will benefit from having his time spent doing something more productive than looking for a parking place.
