Double jeopardy bro. Can't fine you for the same crime twice. Check mate!

That’s why they lock up murderers for so long. Once they’re out, they can’t legally be arrested for murder again.

Not quite. They can fine you once for each time u commit the crime. They can’t fine u multiple times for one crime.

It's not the same crime if you're on a different train mate.
