I accidentally deleted my prior post. I think the gist of it was that these days fines -- including ones for traffic violations -- are often exorbitant. Fines are being used as regressive taxation in order to keep taxes down on those who are well off. If you can, go to jail for a while instead of paying a fine. This costs the system money instead of bailing it out. And you are making a statement. I did it once while out of work. They only gave me credit for $50 per day.
