While I agree in theory, in practice I'm not sure. Too many variables. Where you live, how many dependants, etc
Let's say I live in West Los Angeles and make $200,000 a year, married with 4 kids. That's barely above the poverty line. Now, if I lived in the high Desert and made $50,000 a year with no dependants, I would be rolling in cash. Who would get the higher speeding ticket?
