Comment on the effectiveness of implementing expensive fines versus a more extreme penalty, such as physical harm, for those who violate traffic laws.
Yeah I saw that idiot on tv Ed Sniffen talking about making these horrendous fines so expensive they'll cripple the common man. His dumb theory is that well, then folks won't do it. Tell you what: you really want to stick it to people? If you get caught, let's cut off their arms so they can't drive anymore. Even the death penalty doesn't stop people from killing, so why would more expensive fines stop people from doing these things? They won't, but the city will get rich. Haven't we taxed the people into oblivion already?
