Originally shared by Christian GruberGrr. If someone tells you "it's just a fine" point to this. Or as Monty Python would say, "come and see the violence inherent in the system."
And this, unusually, makes it plain in a way that is easy for anyone to see how low-grade fines and consequences for misdemeanors (often administrative failures, like licensure failures, not victim-creating crimes) disproportionately impact people with low-incomes.
