A timely reminder that “punishable by fine” means “legal for the rich.”
@[email protected]@[email protected] some crimes in spain (and europe I think) have a thing called "day fine". The crime takes in account your salary and takes "a number of days" of your salary as the fine thing. so no matter if you are poor or good on money, it hurts

@gabboman @aral @Maiko Sweden do that with fines for driving at unsafe speeds and set the world record speeding fine at ~$1M in 2010. I think possibly Finland do it too? I strongly feel that this should be practiced everywhere.
