And the rich will just pay it and continue, it's the poors that will suffer. But yeah it would be their fault because this would only be used after a number of offences that they could have just slowed down.
You can't pay to not lose your license, that's not how it works at all.
You should go sit in criminal court for a day.
The reality is many jurisdictions just don't enforce such things very well - there are many cases around the country of people getting their 3rd, 4th, 5th DUI and not losing their license or worse as the law is defined.
And those are often as not, not "rich people".
Frankly judges see so much worse crime in their courts constantly that I think they're hesistant to jail someone who is a mostly functional member of society compared to 90% of everyone else coming through their court.
Then there's also the plea-bargaining process: prosecuting attorneys are directed to plea-bargain pretty much all cases to expedite the case load - courts are largely overwhelmed. I've seen guys in chains accused of multiple violent assault felonies (like assaulted multiple people in one go) plea bargain down to a fucking misdemeanor.
Again, go sit in criminal court for a day and you'll see what I mean - it's eye opening.
This is the dumbest thing I've seen in a while. Criminal court is for poor people. Rich people don't go to court for traffic tickets. They hire a lawyer who's the son in law of a judge and work out a fine and never see the inside of a court room. How naive are you?
