1. Child abduction: the fine is only like $25,000.
2. Stealing the actual CD: the fine is $2,500.
3. Rob your neighbor: the fine is $375,000.
4. Burn a house down: the fine is just over $375,000.
5. Stalk someone: the fine is $175,000.
6. Start a dogfighting ring: the fine is $50,000.
7. Murder someone: the maximum penalty is only $25,000 and 15 years in jail, and depending on your yearly salary, would probably be far slighter a penalty than $2 million.
