Yes, and more.

Even those who are happy to break laws, don't generally do so perfectly.

Even nation states' pulling James Bond stunts don't do it perfectly.

Imperfect enforcement used to be the default even for petty crimes, before CCTV and finger prints and DNA tests and all the other forensics got cheap. The legal systems don't care if the methods are imperfect… and worse, they don't understand why we do, making it hard to explain to them the consequences of this kind of thing in our domain.
