I have heard about places that fine based on income so that it hurts all
equally.
Most places have a base fine - $200 please no matter the income.
I guess the equalizer is the 'point system' where each offense gains you
points. So many points and you lose your license.
But then again, the poor may have a harder time getting around that the
rich.
Personally, I in favor of the fine based on income.
At least it hits everyone somewhat the same (as in a percentage).
But then you would have the poor people getting the advantage because
the police will pull over the shiny expensive car over the old jalopy.
