It seems to me that the fines are in position to help keep our inflated economy under control, but there isn't a consideration for players that don't have dispensable income.
I think having some kind of fine modifier, that works on a similar basis to the income tax when picking up your salary would be better.
Personally, i've never liked the idea of giving someone a fine and also jail time, it should be one or another. I say this as a cop. "
THISSSSSSSSSSS

We have an entire PD force and you feel automated CHARGES are SMART>?

What is punishing you OOCly? The fines are only in IC currency. Noone is taking your IRL money.
Yeah I made a post about speeding tickets once, I said to stop putting out reckless when caught by cameras. I think they should be reserved for actual PD units as they have the capability as people to look at a scenario and judge accordingly. A good example would be when I was going 180kmph in a DCC Super Diamond and a cop pulled me over. I wasn't even given a ticket let alone a warrant because I was carrying someone to the hospital.
I still think regular fines for speeding and especially crimes should stay.
When I spend 4 days making 50k and get raped on prison fines thats an ooc punishment.

The prison system and the fines that come with it are there for a reason. If you don’t want to be punished and have to pay money/do time, either become a law abiding citizen or stop getting caught.
Especially as a new player, you should be spending your time building connections and networking.
The automatic ticketing systems are mostly setup at NCZs, which represent heavily guarded areas. Realistically, you wouldn’t be able to go insane speeds through a these areas. Set your cruise control and don’t go over the limit.
I've already built more than enough connections and done enough networking, I know what I'm talking about. These fines aren't so bizare in real life. I shouldn't be forced to roleplay legal because I'm going to pretty much be punished OOCly if caught.

Maybe... don't do crimes and don't speed? I work as a taxi driver and have to drive around town everytime I'm on duty. I'm not complaining about speeding tickets cause I keep my speed down. Since I drive so often, I don't use the GPS routes often times since although it does show me the shortest distance route, I can go much faster if I took that highway instead. I think thinking like this comes from experience instead of just speeding on regular roads and complaining when you get ticketed.
On my criminal character once I lost bigtime a bag full of drugs was lost cause I was stopped by a cop who had a warrant in to arrest me for speeding. I lost my gun license and I was heavily fined. I'm not complaining, since I made the choice to be a criminal on that character, and since jail time is only a few hours IRL where in reality I would've been in for a couple years I think the fines make sense to be there.
TL,DR: Don't do crimes if you can afford to pay for it. As a new player I'd recommend trying civilian RP till you get the hang of things. Keep your speed down, its not like it takes too long. Smarter route choices.
Funny because in a post about the same thing you wanted the speeding tickets gone, now all of a sudden your opinion has changed, lol. But if you really think OOCly enforcing something ICly is useful, then that is quite the laugh.

Hello, I'll be suggesting to lower the price of prison fines significantly, as I've recently been wiped completely of my characters assets not once, but twice.
As it stands, the prison fines seem to be way too much, and the dumb automatic ticketing system doesn't make it any better. That's what we have cops for, we don't need an automated script to hand out tickets when we have a ENTIRE PD force!
I just got fined $48,000 and went to jail for 100 minutes. The fines are ridiculous, I'm a new player and this is just dumb.
What are your thoughts?

It's people mentality that needs to be changed and I dont think any rules will be changed by that. Yesterday I was just messing with people basicly talking n stuff, so apparently one a just pulled out heavy weapon and shouted "hands up" near the bank, (he was an admin) I mean if admins role play in such mentality what do you expect from ordinary people?
I understand from where you come from but to be honest there's no much roleplay, if you want to mess with people (not attack them just to make jokes n stuff) they will pull out a gun instantly on you and basicly that's it you're fucked up under fear rp rule.sounds like bullshit if you ask me. Where's the video proof?

It's just a game, just have fun but I guess it's aint fun when you're criminal and you get 50k fines and 3-7 hours of jail time when you're trying just to have fun."
Fax bro. I don't GIVE a fuck about doing the time, but TAKING all my money is idiotic, If I want to BOND out, sure, let me pay the fine, If I want to SERVE my time, LET me do that. FORCING me to do BOTH is beyond ludacris and just dumb.
