“When the ‘day fine system’ was devised for petty crimes, Finland did not even have any speed limits on its roads. Those did not arrive until the 1970s. Back then, the police had to rely on the honor system, that is, asking drivers to declare their incomes, before calculating the fine. In today’s digital age, however, a few seconds is all it takes for the police, using mobile devices, to get information directly from the Finnish tax office. Police officials say that there are really very few tickets issued of this magnitude, though they do not keep track. Mr. Kuisla would have gotten a fine of about 100 euros if he had been traveling three kilometers per hour slower.”
