Self policing is often better than letting the lawyer or the cop police for you. Anarchism isn't necessarily about doing crimes, but structures as a whole. An anarchist commune would self police, similar to this community self-policing what's fair game within their community. A different form of anarchism, Libertarianism, places a lot more value on "I do what I want" style freedom and is often against self policing, ie "not my land, not my business". That attitude carried over to diesel truck modding, and as a result the feds had to step in, and hold performance shops and owners accountable for modding trucks to dump particulate. Had the libertarian style truck owners self-policed, maybe they wouldn't have lost out on a large chunk of their performance after-market. note: this is not a comprehensive discussion of anarchism/libertarianism. Just explaining the op was misled on their assumptions.
