In the real world, catching, convicting and punishing criminals is expensive and time consuming. If you remove the costs of gathering evidence, the chance that the suspect is innocent (or might be found not guilty) and the costs of storing the convicts then you have a very biased system with no incentive to give anything less than the maximum allowable penalty.
This is not the real wold though, in which I owe about 10k euro to Credit Cards and loans and so on. This is a fantasy world where I want to have fun,l not get a third job to get money for the Cabal/Tribunal...

In the real world, state employees take money from the government. If SK tribunals were more like RL, they would tax the non-members and the tribunal members would draw a salary.
Was a state employee ever expected to donate his own money to the state? Tribunals just need to come up with more creative ways to "raise revenue." Taxes, fees, etc. Sales tax, hunting licences, weapons registration, mentor certification, food purity grading. You can learn a lot about how governments can grab power and become self-enlarging just by looking at the real world.
