Does this not suffer from the “paying to kill pests” problem where people will start breeding pests/committing crime so they can be paid to stop?

The risk of committing a violent crime or even a property crime isn’t what stops most people from commuting that crime. Rather it’s a lack of necessity and aversion to violence/immorality.
