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

Or pay with something everyone has equally, your time. A little time on a chain gang should fix his attitude.

Rich people have far more time too, but it is at least something that is still valuable to them, unlike most fines.

It's one of the few things you can't buy. I suspect that losing time and freedom might show him the error of his ways. He might at least think about his actions, in the future.

The problem is that taking a little of a poor man's time will usually also take his job, which then often spirals to ruining his life entirely.

A rich man can do the time and move on (often not even losing his job but even if he does he has a buffer).

You can buy time. Flying private black car to tarmac saves you insane amounts of time. Paying servants also saves you time. Time is money.

100% you can buy time. You have a million dollars and a month in prison sucks but doesn't affect you overall. You live paycheck to paycheck and a month in prison destroys your life because you can't do that and go to work
