> The appropriate amount is one that makes the poor and rich alike avoid the behavior.

Well, you suggested the percentage based fines, I'm curious what you think that would look like.

0.5%? 2%? Should I lose my home if I'm underwater on my mortgage?



Do we take your home from people who can’t pay traffic fines?

I already gave you the real world example of Finland as a better system than we have now and you want to ask about if the rich would be homeless.

Go look up how Finland does their % based fines for things like traffic offenses then return with specific questions if you have them.

Otherwise just tell me you disagree with my statement instead of JAQing off
