I've always thought this was a fair system.
A flat fine just hurts lower-income earners.
Agreed. That's why fines should all be as community service - not only is this inherently fair, and not only does it avoid perversely incentivising the government to hand out more fines, but it helps society
“If the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class”
Well, again, if the fine scales with income, suddenly its not so much.
