A lot of corporations actually budget for fines.

People can really suck. It may be a corporation, doing the crime, but an individual made the decision to do it.

I remember a DJ, in Washington DC, talking about parking fines.

Parking in DC is expensive, with monthly passes, costing hundreds of dollars a month.

His reasoning was that he parked illegally in lots around the studio, and occasionally got tickets, that he paid without issue, and it cost him far less than getting a pass.

I assume these were not “tow away” lots.

In college, a resident parking violation in Cambridge was $10, while garage parking in Harvard Sq was $12 or more.

Going out to dinner in the area, using the stochastic parking “garage” was the obvious choice.

I mean, obviously that just means the fine isn't high enough. If it's within fine budget range rather than fine insurance, that's your problem right there.
