fines aren't a great way to enforce justice either in my opinion, because they incentivise finding perpetrators where there aren't any, and being heavy-handed with enforcement of the law in order to bring additional funds into the courts and police departments.

I say we just tie people up and beat them with a cucumber until they say they're sorry

Fines are good way to correct behavior because people generally hate loosing money. The problem starts only when that money is transferred to some other party that can influence the process in any way (even the victim, definitely police or lawers).
