> I don't think stealing books from library at any kind of scale approaching the value of tax evasion is so easy to get away with.
Sort of offtopic but ontopic to your comment: When bored and reading state statutes I've discovered librarians in NJ are the only group of people aside from law enforcement officers that are relieved of most liability when arresting someone. (anyone else that does a wrongful arrest can be hit with all sorts of charges and civil lawsuits)
Since then I've been raising awareness among the librarians of their ability to beat the shit out of people stealing books.
So yes, you are correct. I would expect that it would be more difficult to get away with at scale in the same sense it wouldn't be wise to steal office supplies from the local police station.
