One can surely argue that for an increasingly large proportion of the public, the level of monetary punishment does not provide any deterrent from breaking rules.

Maybe I am imagining it, but (anecdotally) I tend to see mainly expensive cars parked illegally in handicapped spots.

Income proportional fines seems to me like a fair way to apply a monetary deterrent to people that now get meaningless (to them) fines.
