If people are jailed for ignoring the system of law I do not see a problem with that. I do see a problem with set monetary fines as punishment when it does not punish someone who can well afford it. I also have a problem with someone suggesting poorer people need to have their finances scrutinized because they probably are spending money on things they don’t “need”.
You would never need to scrutinize the needless spending habits of the trophy wife of a millionaire who would have to pay the same fine because, well it would just be paid.

And by the way, I would only entertain the idea of lashings if I could dole them out personally and as long as it was consensual of course.
