You're saying people will steal because they can? Do you?
Are we talking about the poor, or the billionares finding every possible loophole on taxes and regulation?
Small/Societal theft is not exactly hard to get away with. It's a lot easier than most professions, but then a lot of engineers and scientists don't get into the business for the money. People do difficult things for the hell of it, as long as they arent punished for it, and sometimes even if they are. Nature takes the path of least resistance? Fucking really?
The reason surveillance is increasing, is because the NEED to steal, is increasing. And hence spending more to prevent it is making more sense.
Food isn't optional. If you decrease wages, theft goes up. No matter how hard you police it.
Your area doesn't need to lock things up because the amount of theft is too small to be worth spending on to prevent. That is as it should be.
If the police in your area is wasting their time on catching grocery thieves, you're already spending your taxes wrong.
