You are literally failing to see the macro side.

1 person doing these things is a non-issue. On an individual level all these things are benign.

On a macro scale things like dodging speed cameras/ tolls, subway fare jumping, parking illegally, leaving shopping carts out, shoplifting, etc.... Are bad for society.

You live in NYC dude. 1 "it doesn't really matter it's nothing" x 8,000,000 people turns into a big deal real fast. The fact that only 5% of people are immoral enough to do it just means it's manageable....

Social pressures that move that 5% to 4% are good, and enabling behavior that pushes that 5% to 6% is bad.
