Stealing or not?

[GeauxLSU]

If an LEO tells you, "By the letter of the law, you can't steal anything. But as long as you don't shoplift anything worth more than $100 dollars, I'm not going to arrest or cite you."

1. Is it still stealing?
2. Do you partake?

Yes, it's about hunting....

 

[Bonecollector]

It's stealing.

Can't believe one has to ask that question.

Well I mean he LSU has a point. It doesn't make since that Leo can't do anything under a certain amount.

 

[Handydad]

Stealing!!

Severity of punitive action, or lack thereof, has no bearing on the morality of a given situation.

No, to be clear, the LEO CAN in fact cite/arrest the person for stealing less than the $100. But he has chosen to NOT enforce the law as strictly for a reason I'll explain later.
My question is simply since you know it won't be enforced up to a certain limit, is it still stealing and is it still wrong to participate.

If you take what is not yours, it's stealing. Value is irrelevant.
