America has this same form of a "fine" --- it is called health insurance.

"Oh, you have insurance so that hospital blanket will cost you $125 (and
dont try to take it home)"
"Oh, you dont have insurance?  That blanket will not appear on your
bill." -- etc. . . etc . . . etc . . .

I have been both ways and it seems that with my 20%-80% policy, my 20% is
often more than what I pay total without insurance at all. (are we trying to
make more 'have nots'?)

(note: (without insurance) some county hospitals will still send you a bill
for the kagillions of dollars, but if you pay $10 a month for a year they
right off the overinflated amount as a loss to secure tax money the
following year)

Yes the socialist method is well in effect in America.
