A mild disagreement... it's enforcement or regulation, and really has
an exquisitely small bit to do with generating revenue.

It keeps honest people honest.. and if not, the size of the fine has to be large
enough to get the owner's attention compared to having to give up their "illegal" income.

My experience came from a clinical lab doing PAP smears, where the
director was doing them, himself, to avoid having to pay a pathologist.
Warnings did not fix the problem, but a very healthy fine did work wonders.
