The US puts people behind bars for nearly no reason, but someone who does not pay a >1m fine and continues to do illegal stuff runs around free?
Here it would be one day of prison for the equivalent of two days income. Put those spammers behind bars where they belong.
I like this. Where is "here"?
Germany, but I think similar laws exist around the EU.
Danke schön. I find this a very reasonable way to go about it.
They actually changed the rate a short time ago. Before that it was a 1:1 relationship, but it sent poor people to prison for too long for simple things like being repeatedly caught without a valid ticket on a train or bus.
We don't put rich people in prison as long as someone got lobbied. This guy must be loaded.
The problem here is that the influential people have secretaries or butlers that simply screen such calls. If representatives or senators would get bombed with unfiltered spam calls like normal people, those spammers would work in chain gangs until they drop dead.
If your crime is financial in nature and widespread you dont go to jail.
