Just thinking out loud here..I'm sitting here at a convenience store on the east coast. And there's a handicap parking sign that shows "$120 Fine". For some people, that can feel like a hefty fine and will deter them from parking there. But if I were rich, I would just park there anyways because the fine would be very tiny to me and worth the risk. I wouldn't even notice that $120 missing. Fines are put in place to deter people from breaking rules or laws. But how does this deter the wealthy? How is this equal or fair?
