On the other hand, if they were to give him a $400 ticket, that would be like giving me a ticket for 50 cents.

Yeh but I would really appreciate a $.50 ticket vs a $400 ticket

I agree with Captain on this one about seeing the point. However, it is still pretty dumb. I think 50k at most.

Their point is greediness no more. It is unequal punishment under the law. Then again what should you expect from a European government.

Fucker...you qutoed before I saved the changes. I'm thinking that race isn't really fitting here because you could easily argue about our progressive tax system.

What you should be thinking is; "Maybe I should think before I type".

But that's Ok. It's funnier this way.

I really wouldn't want to see this sort of penalty in North America, but what they're striving for is equitable punishment under the law. The fine is based on your net worth. It may be unequal punishment in absolute terms, but in relative terms it actually is equal.

Up here they would have taken your vehicle and license for a week, without benefit of trial. In Switzerland, if you were a foreigner, they'd hand you a bill at the roadside and make you pay.
