Considering that, then the fine should be the monetary equivalent to the worst thing that happened or could happen because of the infraction.

Parking illegally in a specific spot could result in the death of 8 people? then the fine should be 8 * value of life. the value of life is ~ $9M in the US, so the fine should be 72 million dollars.

Haha, the obviously absurd conclusion should tell you that something is wrong with at least one premise.

How much compensation would you says is fair for being killed? It'd say there's no such number, given that the dead can't spend.
