No, you're wrong. The state has an interest (not a financial interest).


Think of a fine for a speeding ticket. The state doesn't have a quantitative damage for one guy speeding. The State's interest is keeping roadway's safe for the people of the state and the laws passed by the appropriate authority set speed limits for roads.

You are thinking that the only interest a state can have is whether they were directly damaged (or to use your example, effectively as a "party to the transaction") and that isn't the only state interest. The State represents its citizens and their interests, not just the bureaucracy of the state.

I don't know why you keep talking about crimes. The state is not charging him with a criminal violation.

Extra points for throwing in irrelevant reference to communism
