I don't think it should be rated against the car but against the payroll for the driver.

That is a better idea, but rather than a fixed amount, make it a sliding scale. The more you are paid, the bigger the fine.

Doesn't Germany do something similar currently?

Yup.. speeding fine is a percantage of your annual income!

Great idea! How about other fines, illegal parking, etc?

By the way, illegal parking should also include those morons that take two spaces.

I suppose a speeding fine could also be multiplied by how far above the speed limit you were as well.

They do that here. I was recently requested to make a donation.

My $90 ticket became $250 + the $90 plus a 5-year mark on my record of a suspended license.

Thanks buddy...

I think it can only be done by a LT or higher - the deputies and beat cops can't do anything about it.

The problem here is that there are so many different departments that the chances of knowing the right person in the right department are slim - but I'm not a celebrity outside of my mind so I wouldn't know.

My cop buddy is a detective. He's connected, but apparently his connections didn't get the job done.

Yes, Germany does indeed adjust the fine to the speeder's income (as it's known on their taxes). It's also nice to know that the fine is less if paid on the spot *wink*. AFAIK, that's a legal practice by the Polizei to give a discount for paid in cash, though I doubt they're legally allowed to pocket any. That was about 10 years ago, things may have changed.
