All fines should be at least as much as was profited from the crime.

Fines should scale with wealth. If zuckerberg gets a speeding ticket, he should have to pay millions. Bonus: this might encourage cops to go after rich people instead of poor.

    No no.

    All revenue from the crime should be forfeit, and redistributed to the victims. This is not the penalty for the crime, it's just restitution.

    Then a fine of some amount should be paid, as the actual penalty for the crime.
