Tangent, but we recently had some rich guy drunk driving an e-scooter in Germany. The fine was extremely low because in most cases the court estimates how much a person makes without checking, and lowball it to ~1500€/month (it’s usually not worth researching how much someone makes and by lowballing it chances are the person won’t object). The case resulted in 30 day-fines, so 1500€.
But this guy did object the judgement. Well, the objection was overruled, but by now the court had heard of who this was. The new day fine was 2,670€ resulting in a total fine of 80,100€ :D

I wish the US would do fine scaling. By circumstance I know a significant t number of people worth $200M and up. All of them consider fines to be convenience fees.
