"Most welfare fraud occurs when the reported absent parent is actually living in the home, unreported income, using an ineligible child or children not living in the home who are part of the recipient's case, according to the California Department of Social Services.
In Los Angeles County, field investigators handle 15,000 to 20,000 fraud cases or referrals, according to the Department of Public Social Services.
Annually, investigators find fraud in around 5,000 to 8,000 cases. Of that, 200 cases are sent to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office and 95% result in a conviction."

As soon as something in the law excuses behavior, everyone will just start to behave that way.
Maybe this will make California's debt grow so much that the state dissolves.
