<i>stop creating warrants for peoples arrests because they haven&#x27;t payed a fucking fine</i><p>Our entire legal system (and indeed the legal system of most countries) is based on incremental punishments for further noncompliance. You break the law, you get fined. You don&#x27;t pay the fine, you lose the associated privilege. You ignore that loss, you go to jail.<p>This is <i>necessary</i> to ensure compliance. Without this, the law may as well not exist because people can violate it with absolute impunity.<p><i>How about just not charging such ridicilous fines</i><p>&quot;Ridiculous&quot; in the case of someone below the poverty line could be as small as a $20-$50 speeding&#x2F;parking ticket.<p>The snark is not necessary or welcome, thanks.
