[quote=Anonymous]DC couldn't implement income-adjusted day fines a la Finland - that is, the fine associated with your traffic violation is scaled according to your income - without accessing IRS records and that would create its own concerns. But they do know the make, model and year of the vehicle you are driving and, with that, can approximate its value. If you import a car to DC, the DC DMV uses this information anytime to levy an excise tax. So why not just scale fines according to the approximate value of your vehicle? Wouldn't that be fairer than a uniform fine? Would it be too hard for the Council to implement? [/quote]
