I realise that, but there is absolutely nothing about choosing an appropriate fine for the case, which really is common sense.
Seeing as there used to be something about it, I believe that there should at least be a notice saying that a fine should always be appropriate and overfining won't be allowed.
Honestly I don't get why it got removed, seeing as it is still possible to overfine someone. (Though the probability got significantly lower)

Looking at the rules right now, it says "Cops may issue fines according to the official fine-list"
Nothing, but literally nothing, about choosing a fine. The only place I have come across with uses the word appropriate, is the Police Guide, and it only is about the appropriate offense, and again says nothing about actually choosing the appropriate fine.

Police Guide Wrote:Select the appropriate offense and fine the user accordingly.

The word "accordingly" may point to choosing the right fine, but how it comes across to me is that it points to choosing a fine related to the incident, and not about the amount. And even if it does point to the fine, there is nothing about this in the rules, finelist or in-game finelist; the documents which are enforced. Something which used to be there, and, if it should still be enforced, should again be added in my opinion.

My points still stand though.
