I’ve never been fined but my dad was fined 2 billion yuan a couple of years ago for tax evasion and money laundering.
I was caught torrenting The Walking Dead season 2, shortly after it came out. Would’ve had to pay an enormous sum that I don’t remember. Fortunately, there are lawyers who can help first time offenders in these situations so I only had to pay 180€ lawyer’s fee and promise not to do it again.
I hadn’t even watched the stupid season yet and still haven’t.
SPOILER: The dead are still walking.
Where are/were you where you actually got in trouble for internet piracy? Is this common? Am I going to jail?
Germany. We have some very strict laws about that sort of thing, file sharing is of the devil.

£380 for doing 80.46mph in a 40. Suffice to say I learned my lesson there and narrowly dodged a license-losing bullet.
I guess that would be the red light cam.
It’s the middle of the night and I’m driving down a steep hill with a birthday cake on the passenger seat. The light at the foot of the hill turns yellow and I start to apply the brakes but the cake slides forward. I quickly assess the situation. There’s no one on the road in any direction as far as the eye can see, and so I breeze through the light.

$400 cake.
$210 for going 69 in a 65 in Texas in ‘96.
Nice
