$5000 is too high unless you adjust for income, but loss of license for a month sounds right.

Not too high. We don’t need to make sure committing crimes is affordable.

Definitely too high, especially when police officers have the ability to write tickets with impunity. You're basically giving them a license to ruin most people's lives financially. Unless the victim has a PBA card

People who are actually at risk of being victims of crime are actually not in favor of crime. Maybe leave your sheltered neighborhood once in a while, or maybe just leave Bernie Bro Twitter.

There are policies that reduce crime, and policies that don’t.

Taking what could be a third of someone’s income for running a light is just stupid.

If someone is making $15K how the fuck they driving a car? How are they paying for gas and groceries?

Also, running a red light is stupid. Until the penalties are severe enough, people will continue to do it cause it's convenient to them, fuck everyone else.

This guy said 10k. So that would be a 30k salary.

Driving is a privilege not a right. If you are incapable of safely operating a vehicle you have no business being behind the wheel.

Which is why a efficient public transportation should be universal. However public transportation in the US routinely has funding cut in favor of the convenience of wealthy drivers.

Heck off with your concern trolling.

Funny, here I was thinking I was advocating against unreasonable fines that will disproportionately bankrupt poor individuals. You want index the fine so it is 2.5% of net income, I’m all for it. People making a mil net can pay $25k.
