Should Police Tickets Cost More If You’re Rich? Income-Based Fines Explained

Should speeding fines be based on your income? Imagine getting pulled over for going 30 over - if you make $50K a year, it's around $100... but if you're raking in $250K, it could be thousands!This is already happening in Finland and other countries, and there's talk of bringing income-based fines to North America.In this episode of Canada Off Script, Randall Arsenault, known as Officer Arsenault, breaks down how these fines work, why they're designed to hit everyone equally hard (rich or poor), and real examples like a millionaire paying $140K for speeding just 25 over. As a former police officer from a police family, Randall shares why the current system isn't fair - justice isn't equal when money talks. We dive into pros (better road safety, deterring entitled drivers), cons (is it punishing the rich?), and what viewers are saying in comments.Is this about public safety, profit, or levelling the playing field? Could Canada adopt this before the US?
