Swiss dude gets a 98.500 Frank fine for tailgating. Similarly someone in Finland got a €121.000 fine for speeding.

The problem with these income adjusted fines is privacy. Finland has a central database with everyone's income that cops can apparently just access. It's effectively a kidnap shortlist. Though to be fair, these guys were already flaunting wealth so for them the additional risk is marginal. But everyone is in that database.

It's based on income, not wealth, so the state might actually have to Elon :-)
