I mean cops won’t even show up for most shoplifting cases these days, so what stops most people from shoplifting?
The social contract that we hold dear. As long as I can have my needs met legally, I will do it.
As soon as I can’t feed and house myself legally, I won’t choose to “not eat” because of cops.

Mostly nobody.
