It's a bad system. It really is. There should be a more just, more fair, more equitable way.

I agree.
As Zeke said, if your wallet "stings" it can be a deterrent, but everyone has a different level at which the sting begins to hurt.
Maybe fines based on an person's income would be more fair.
It might lead to a decrease in revenue though. Gotta pay them cops somehow.
