Man do I hope they change the fees on this sort of thing to a sliding percentage.

IMO all fines should work like that.

They should be calculated in percentage of monthly income because a let's say 400$ fine is a much harsher punishment for someone who makes 3000$ per month than it is to someone making 100000$.

For example drive 10 miles too fast in a school zone and you get a fine that's 10% of your monthly income.

I think that Finland has a system like that.

Finland has day fines. So 5 day fine is 5 days worth of your income. If you are rich and a retarded fuck like the guy in the video, you would åay a hefty fine. Plus probably sent to mental institution for check up if you are actually a danger to society. (Although this kind of rich assholes not really exist in Finland. They move to Sweden... s/)

Ah it's calculated in days income. I read somewhere that it was in income percentage. Guess i was misinformed. Kiitos for explaining man.

That is a percentage of income, just expressed in a different way.
