@ifixcoinops@retro.social @afewbugs@social.coop Finland has a thing where fines are scaled to income. I think the basic unit of fine is something like half a day’s income, minus an allowance for cost of living. So in theory it means you can have fines that are suitably impactful if you’re on minimum wage without it being life-destroying; but it also scales up so that it’s still a meaningful amount for a CEO or whatever. (There are some news articles from a few years back about people getting six-figure speeding tickets.) (I can’t comment on how fairly it works out in practice, perhaps it sounds better than it actually is. Also no comment on whether fine is even the right approach for this situation. Does criminalising antisocial behaviour work?)
