I dont think a "too long grass" fine is unreasonable. I think if you can completely obscure a 5' tall figure standing upright in your grass alone, maybe a 30 minute fine is reasonable.

... it's how much? For being how long?

You mean like a timeout? Go stand in the corner?

More like 30 minutes of whatever you get paid, as all fiscal punishments should be measured
