Her money isn't a crime, she's entitled to it, as long as she stays out of trouble. I personally think it's fucked up that when people who have money get a fine its like pocket change to them. Meanwhile, the regular people have to take out a second mortgage to pay a big fine.
Fines and jail time are supposed to be deterrants to crimes. How much does Stewart make in a year? 20M? 50k is 0.25% of that. If you got busted for the same crime, and a 50k fine was levied, it would fuck you up long term. Where is the equality in the system there?
If fines were set up on a sliding scale like that the effect of the fine would be equal for all people.
