You've outlined the lack of a negative incentive (the lack of accountability) but I was asking more about the positive incentive. I.e., what is there incentive for doing the things society doesn't want them to do?
E.g., if the IRS doesn't hold me accountable, there is no negative incentive to stop me from cheating on my taxes. However, I may still pay my taxes because I have a positive incentive to fund social programs I value.

Take a look at footage from countries where the police don't carry guns to see the type of physical work American police are shirking.
