“I can see that traffic laws exist for a reason (our safety), and that they need to be enforced with REASONABLE penalties (fines and/or imprisonment). But “reasonable” isn’t in any way what is in Virginia’s laws.”

Exactly. Some people won’t be able to pay and will lose their licenses. Then they have the choice of losing their jobs or driving without license. They end up in prison for driving without license, and go on to live a life of crime since they can never pay off their fines and so can never get their law abiding lives back.

These people will go mostly unnoticed since they were living on the edge anyway, but overall crime will go up in Virgina because some greedy pickle pounding lawyer named Albo used the power of his position to enrich himself.

See how lawyers ruin lives and impoverish and endanger society? They should all be shot for the sake of the rest of us.

Shakespeare had a point when he said, "First thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers."*

Of course, being a lawyer I don't like to bring that up much :>) Some of us aren't quite so bad, and actually try to help client's avoid financing the next Mercedes for our more dorsal fin-endowed competitors.

*I saw a great T-shirt once. It had that quote, with a noticeable asterisk at the end. At the bottom of the shirt, in the appropriate small print, was "...except for mine."
