The problem is his time is worth a lot more than those fines to him.
US Speeding fines are actually significantly lower than fines in Britain, France, Germany, Switzerland, Australia or Asia.
Contrarily to a common myth, US cities/states don't finance themselves with speeding fines. It's a tiny drop in the bucket. New York cameras issued $23,5 million in tickets. The annual budget of New York City is $115 billion dollars.
One of the thing you notice on US social media is that several american men (it's always men!!) call major US cities crime-ridden democratic shitholes. They want harsh punishments for lawbreakers. Cops beat up someone? "He probably deserved it. Respect the law!!" they will say.
These same accounts keep denouncing tickets and speed cameras. They clearly don't see breaking the law as a bad thing. Some even cheer attacks on cameras (destruction of public property). It's actually insane these "law and order" folks don't notice the hypocrisy.
Fines should scale with wealth. Millionaire wants to speed? Okay, pay a $100,000 fine.
This is common conservative "Outgroups to bind, in-groups to protect" dysfunction. They're bad people.
