Make fines income related

Petition Details

All fines should be income related. Fines are a punishment and should be that for everyone. A £200 for minimum waged is a punishment however not if that person earns £200,000 it is not. It is not right to punish the poor and not the well off.

Additional Information

Often we see where foot ballers and other well off people are fined less than £200 this is no punishment to the well off.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. You could start a new petition explaining clearly which fines you would like to be income-related. The Government is only responsible for fines issued by the Government, and is not responsible for other fines - for example, fines set by local councils or private organisations.
