Reminder of how much we like to criminalize being poor.

Skipping a $3.50 transit fare results in a $425 fine while skipping a $20 parking pass lands you a $70 fine that rich people complained to high heaven about. What justification, other than hating poor people, is there for this not scaling?

Make parking fines $2000 and then let's talk about the fictional "war on cars"

@chu In Germany they put people who skip fares in jail after a certain number of times.

If only they did the same with people who get the same number of parking tickets…
