Less consequences if they get caught.
That's plausible. Never underestimate greed and the desire to avoid being caught for a crime.
It’s only a crime if you get caught ;)
The us communicates that you will get punished if caught. I imagine most people dont think they will be caught.
Depends on the probability of being caught, which is usually extremely low.
You're reasoning for violating the law is that the probability if getting caught is low?
Except if they're sure they won't be caught.Isn't that how actual crime works?
Some people might do so if the alternative is going to jail.
It's not a crime if they don't catch you. With that mentality, you're as good as caught, anywho.
Because if you do it you're going to jail if you get caught.
