There’s countries where that’s more or less the case (think parking tickets dependent on the catalog value of the car, fines being lower for cheaper cars). Especially with speeding tickets (Sweden for example, and possibly Germany).
I think it’s the case with speeding tickets in some US states as well, but I’m not certain.
