With an exception for luxury vehicle (less than 1000 model produced) that will not be submitted to this ban... Next time they could be even more honest and directly say than the law won't apply to rich people.

You mean like have a fine, that's expensive if you don't have much money but insignificant if you are rich?

Exactly. To me, a fines is just an explicit "price of the law". As long as they are not at least calculated as a fraction of your annual revenue (not salary of course...), they cannot be just.
