Apparently a guy in Europe was fined $280 000 for a speeding infringment recently.
In his country of residence, speeding fines are linked to how much money you earn. Unluckily for this guy he was a millionare, and the fine represents a percentage of his income.

how do they actually do it? do they run a check on the car? or do they just send out the fine later, this is if a cop pulls someone over not a speed camera

Repost, this happened about this time last year, and the man is question was a financial officer of a company in finland I think. For some reason (read tax dodge), the company "loaned" him a large amount of money at tax census date. After the census date, the money was transfered back to the company. However a few months later, so the story goes, he got nicked for high speed, and they based the fine on his net worth at census date

Finland sounds about right.
I heard it on the radio today...

Rich peopole are usually a bit stingy, so imagine when he got that
