How do you think they'll get know what your ticket price should be? Give up your privacy much...
Can you claim low income for a low priced ticket yet drive a 2019 tesla?..How will they work that out?...they will need a whole new branch of govt to regulate that...lol...sounds like another lib plan that wasn't thought out.
So the same people cheating at reporting their income (for tax evasion) also get a reduced fine? That doesn't sound too good.

You support being audited every time you speed? O do you expect honest speeders?
If you're not an illegal, they have everything. You'd be shocked at what some police departments can bring up on their dashboard by running your plates.
Shit dude, if you get a divorce, they subpeona your Expressway Tolls to see where you've been.
$100 could be the difference between having regular meals the last week of the month, or seeing a doctor for a poor person. For a financial sector employee, it's simply an ordinary lunch out. The pain isn't equal.

That's because you have a contractual obligation with another legal party, the person you're divorcing.
I'm not ready to marry the State, that's why Bernie will never be President, we'll never be a Socialist country, and our Justice system will never be a Social Justice System.
BTW I support a flat tax on everyone. If nobody had loopholes, then everyone pays their taxes. And we use it for roads and the betterment of the Republic common areas and infrastructure. And if the Liberals can handle it, I don't mind Social nets for those in need, but not for the lazy and shiftless.
Sorry I'm not showing my tax returns every time I get a seat belt violation, people like you enable Bernie Sanders and the shithead Antifa that think they are entitled to a SJW Utopia.
They don't...
The privacy issue is very relevant and may make this not feasible if there's no other way without revealing too much info (they already have that info, but not necessarily the cop).

And you're out of your fucking mind if you think Schiff, Pelosi, DWS, Maxine Waters and the Liberal Mayors in those towns would allow that full $100 to make it to a poor person's plate. Those Meals on Wheels, and Feeding South Florida outreaches, are funded through corporate and private donations, while our Representatives use ear marked socialist money to pay people to fuck Trump and his supporters over.
Here’s why this idea has entered the discussion.
Poor and undocumented people can’t afford high traffic fines so they just don’t pay. They just disappear into the urban miasma and never do pay. And now that misdemeanor crimes and civil infractions can’t get you jail time in California, how do they ever make these deadbeats pay up?
Answer: they can’t! But the state still wants its money so they are going to try bargaining the fines down to something that these poor fucks can and might actually pay. Better to get something than to get absolutely nothing!
it's better to have progressive fines than progressive taxes.

If the point of fines is to discourage behaviors, then income-based fines should be the norm.
I'd rather see income based fines with flat income taxes, then flat fines and progressive income taxes.
