[quote="Pick Axe":cf75f]I have this friend in Austraila, and He just told me about the ticket system there. He said they fine you based on your ability to pay. ie...Bill Gates goes 5 over, gets hammered for 5 mil, poor guy go 30 over, pays $100. I don't know, it kinda makes sense, but seems too overdone to me. What do yall think????[/quote:cf75f]

Horribly subjective, biased system: why should my punishment be harder
than that of another individual's because of my success and productivity ?
You need an objective system that treats every entity the same regardless
of social standing or ability. Of course, safety nets could be put in place in
one form or another. Failing that, short-term incarceration suffices.
