for some people with infinite time on their hands what deterrent is that? yes it sucks to be part of the Saturday morning breakfast club picking up trash for 8 Saturdays, but quite honestly, a $300 fine can make the difference of owning an Xbox or iPod for some kid. I still think that monetary fines have their place and have their own way of deterrence.
In fact I believe in this instance the monetary fine is MORE of a deterrence because they don't want to pay it.
