EDIT: since apparently a bunch of people woke up with the wrong foot this morning or forgot to check the group they’re in:

This is a joke. Do not steal or vandalize speed enforcement cameras (or anything else for that matter). That’s against the law and you will likely get arrested.

If you’re addicted to crack or any other drugs, please seek professional help.

It's only % of salary (day fines) for more severe offenses, in this case for really speeding. Normal speeding tickets are just a set sum.

Here's a pic showing the amounts. It has the speed limit, how much over the limit you were and how much you end up paying as a fine. Bottom one is "regardless of the limit" and "over 20 km/h", so whenever you go over by over 20 km/h, you pay "day fines".

speeding ticket prices

I agree it would be more just if it were all based on income, but even this:

It’s only % of salary (day fines) for more severe offenses, in this case for really speeding

...is far more just than here in the US where income is never considered.

So my statement is still accurate. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. Perhaps you can explain?

Friend, I'm just trying to be helpful and note that it's not all speeding tickets.

What's up with people online thinking everything is an argument lol

[–] LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The real problem is that people want to argue technicalities that deflect from the main point. For people who aren't paying attention, they might come across this and think, "Oh, well I guess the US system isn't so unjust after all."

The Finnish system is probably inequitable, too! But it's objectively not as inequitable as the US system, at least not where traffic fines are concerned. There's nuance.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

I was just noting that it's not all (or most) traffic fines, since it's a common misconception. That is all.
