Andy – This is not a rhetorical question. I’m actually looking for the answer, and I’m too busy – OK, I’m too lazy – to try to find it myself.

What Giuliani was saying last night about “amnesty” was that anything involving a $5,000 fine, plus other government-imposed conditions, could not be characterized as amnesty. I’m filling in a few blanks, but he seemed to be saying, as a former prosecutor, that lots of crimes result in punishments of $5,000 fines, plus other conditions. So my question is: What are the sorts of crimes that might normally (not in cases of outrageous leniency or harshness) result in a $5,000 fine and other conditions? For a layman, what would be the most serious sort of crimes that might result in such a punishment, and what are the least serious?
