However they do not want said tactics used against them. One tactic to prevent this is to make examples out of people and white hats are much easier targets. Like you said black hats take lots of precautions not to be caught where as white hats often take none since they dont think theyre doing anything wrong.

There is only one problem with that, if a corporation is completely ignoring its customers and does not deliver what is promised, it will eventually go bankrupt or be taken over by its competitor. By definition there is no market for governments, so the only influence people have in a democracy, is voting for the other guy/girl hoping he/she won't do the same. Though I wonder, what do you see as 'the country' in this regard? Because if it's not the people, I assume you mean the governing body itself. If that is true, what we call democracy doesn't exist any-more.
