There’s always gonna be these people knowingly breaking the law if they can easily afford the fines. Do you think she would keep driving without her seat belt and smoking wherever she pleases if she was fined say 10% of her yearly income every time she was caught?
In at least one of the scandinavian countries, they actually do that. Your fine is expressed in a point system instead of a fixed amount and forwarded to the tax office, And then the tax office fines you based on your income. Which led to a 6-digit fine for a speeding driver some years ago.
It’s Finland you’re thinking of
(which as an aside is not a part of Scandinavia, but is a part of the Nordics)
Switzerland and Belgium too as far as I can see.
This is from memory but I think the 6-digit guy did some creative accounting too in order to pay less tax in his home country but that also inflated last years income which is what they used to fine him. He was very mad.
Good
