Oh yes, let's take away peoples rights to mortgages and cars, how many criminals would you expect this to disadvantage? Fines do occur, problem is that most people only pay them a little bit at a time because they can't afford to just pay massive lump sums, and if you did force them to it would only increase the problem of poverty and no doubt increase crimes, particularly shop lifting and muggings.

If that was a realistic idea, I don't think the government would hesitate to implement such a harsh fining system. Can't think of anything else the government holds back on sponging money from, so why not? Because it would be ridiculously damaging to society, which is pretty damn obvious.

And just a reminder for Royboy39, but this is a public forum, so in theory it IS pretty much a place for me to air my views whether you like them or not. Stop aiming your sarcastic abusive comments at me. This forum (allegedly) doesn't tolerate personal attacks, and I don't see why I should be made to feel unwelcome.
