Listing six months in jail and acting like full punishment would have to be the first resort is a clear strawman.

Fines are all we need. But even if we ignored fines entirely, one day of jail would be plenty.

Your original comment makes it sound like there's no reasonable way to enforce the law. There is. You send reminders and warnings and escalate to a fine after a certain point.

Also I think you could figure out a big list of boilerplate answers and make everyone roughly satisfied.

But come on, surely there exist laws where reasons have to be given and they're not corrupted into doing nothing.
