Ok maybe the last one is just a touch far but all the rest is pretty much doable. Fines are looked on by the criminal classes as an even bigger joke than community service orders as if they aren't paid they get a few more court appearances until they are eventually waived.

If you don't want to go down the seizure of the inevitable plasma and PS3 then going back to the old way of jailing people in lieu of fines and making sure the time is served in a way that makes them not want to return.
