People get fined disproportionately to the actual cost of whatever they were doi...

There’s a thing often used of “fine triple the financial gain”.

Fines towards individuals tend to be associated to the crime committed , not to the persons paycheck. Why should it be different for companies?

Some believe that some fines should be a proportion of income, even for individuals.

Fixed financial penalties are inherently regressive; they disproportionately punish the poor and provide no disincentive to the sufficiently rich.

I believe this has been implemented for speeding fines in some countries.
