> Very few rich cities, formally speaking. I know Singapore uses formal physical punishment.

For extremely serious crimes, not his list of public indecency. For instance:

* Under the Environmental Public Health Act, it is an offence to urinate or defecate "in or upon any street, arcade, vacant land, river, canal, ditch, drain or watercourse or in any place to which the public has access except in any sanitary convenience provided for such purpose." The penalty is a fine of up to $1,000 for a first offence, and up to $2,000 and $5,000 for the second and third offence respectively. [1] [2]

What is the penalty for not being able to pay any of those fines?

We know that the rich are allowed to do what they want. I’m more interested in the people likely to actually do it.

Same as most countries, you get thrown in prison. You still won't get caned though.
