So? No reason not to royally fine them. Because it isn't just about this particular action, it is also about all the other abuses, past and present.


I am responding to this assertion:

If this "slap on the wrist" does indeed change the bad behavior in question, then it seems like the system is working.


No, this slap on the wrist only changed this bad behavior, so they'll try again with something else.

What needs to be done is not a slap on the wrist but a whack over the head with a cluebat that it's been enough and that the next fine will put them out of business so we can stop this endless game of whackamole.
