The goal of fines is meant to be to discourage specific problematic behaviours, like parking where it would cause problems for the fire department.
When the goal becomes to cause the behaviour more often so that your can collect more fines, the entire system is just fundamentally broken.
A large portion of the money collected should go to a department whose goal is to find further ways to discourage the problematic behaviour. Paint the curb bright red, for starters.
