I agree with you. The poor can be affected by this as well, in the case of fines. A $150 speeding ticket isn't more of an inconvenience to most of us, but a poor person could be ruined by it. Nobody should escape consequences entirely, but I think the poor should be given some exemption from the governments iron-fist policy with fines, penalty fees, and bench warrants when you dont pay them.

There's a simple solution: here in Scandinavia at lot of monetary punishments are based on your income. E.g. your speeding ticket costs you a week's pay.

(Yes, tax evaders get off too easy with this system)
