So basically, they are fined nothing (100k is less than a millionth of Meta's net worth)

I wonder if 100k per day is more or less than the average daily profits they make in Norway (population 5.4 million people)

Ill run red lights all day if i get fined 1 cent a day too

That's only 3,64€ per year. You'd be fine.

Worth it. Can I also get fined a millionth of what I make for illegal parking? Ill take that as well
