A degree of this could be solved just by saying proceeds from fines, fees, and forfeiture go to the state or federal government.

Obviously that might encourage those governments too do such fines, but a. they already do that, and b. people have historically been better at limiting large scale abuse like this that is possible in each separate small town scattered around the state/country.

Also it might provide a more cost effective way to sue in response to disparate enforcement (one suit vs many).
