John Oliver has covered this a few times, basically every politician fears "raising taxes" so they do it other ways which is often like this, municipal fees and fines, etc.. Which typically harms the middle class and poor the most.
I'm tired of coward politicians who won't just say, we have to raise the corp or tax on wealthy ever so slightly so we can pay for such and such. At least be honest, and have the guts to ever so slightly burden those most well off instead of going around it and screwing everyday people with hidden taxation.
This deals only with municipal violations, but its a broader issue as we all know.
