    If the punishment is a fine, it’s only illegal for poor people.

    Besides that, he’s never going to pay any of those fines anyway. He’s going to waste the court’s time and resources with appeals and then just not pay anyway. What are they going to do, garnish his wages?

      I think eventually (like well after all appeals are final) the court can order officers to seize property if fines go unpaid long enough. Not sure the legal terms, maybe some kind of asset forfeiture.
