The mentality is just disgusting. They use the word “cheating”. Not once did they refer to this behaviour as criminal.

Like, I could reduce my grocery bill by “cheating” and paying with counterfeit bills.

They’ve done the maths and decided they make more money through crime than they accumulate in fines.
