Individuals should be punished for breaking the law, but there are alternative punishments available. The state already uses wage garnishment, garnishment of unemployment benefits, and federal income tax refund withholding – all of these could be used to ensure compliance with financial penalties. The state is far more likely to collect full restitution if it does not indirectly cause someone to lose their job as part of a punishment. And taking an individual’s time in the form of community service or similar punishments rather than taking their driver’s license would be more productive.
