[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do we all agree the main purpose of fines is to deter people from reoffending? If that’s the case, if you have a HHI of say $300,000 or more, as many people who post here do, would a $50 fine deter you? Do you think it might deter people on a HHI of $50,000? Do you see that a fine set at the right level to deter a low income earner would be ineffective for a high income earner? [/quote] I make way more than that and the $50 fine does deter me because I’m not a moron. [/quote] Okay, you make much more than that and probably know a lot of people in the same income bracket, so do you think it would deter most people at that income level? I'm not sure why you commented it would deter you because you're not a moron. Could you clarify? [/quote]
