I think many people would prefer the fine as opposed to the rack. With Donald Trump, who the fuck cares?bobevenson wrote:Many localities have speed traps to issue tickets to unwary drivers to separate them from their money. If you want to punish people, you can put them on the rack or keelhaul them. Furthermore, a traffic fine isn't even pocket change to Donald Trump, but could cause some people who are destitute to blow their brains out.

In Switzerland fines are relative to ability to pay. Some guy in a Ferrari got a speeding fine equivalent to the value of his car for this reason.bobevenson wrote: a traffic fine isn't even pocket change to Donald Trump, but could cause some people who are destitute to blow their brains out.

They're both exactly the same, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a duck, and nothing you say can changes that simple fact. And don't come up with that bullshit that it's for different reasons! If you're driving too fast, it's not a fine, it's a luxury tax for speeding.Arising_uk wrote:You don't appear to understand the concept of a fine as opposed to a tax.
