Isn't possession illegal though?

Realistically, doesn't randomly killing people harm capital, in so much as it would mean they must have more staff to cover the work of an unknown number of murdered employees afterwards, lose money spent training anyone that gets killed, and have a slightly smaller workforce available that also is more proficient at violence?
In theory yes, less employees means the value of labor goes up because of demand. This is what happened after the Black Death in Europe.
In the wake of the drastic population decline brought on by the plague, wages shot up, and labourers could move to new localities in response to wage offers. Local and royal authorities in Western Europe instituted wage controls. The government controls sought to freeze wages at the old levels before the Black Death. Within England, for example, the Ordinance of Labourers, enacted in 1349, and the Statute of Labourers, enacted in 1351, restricted both wage increases and the relocation of workers.[30] If workers attempted to leave their current post, employers were given the right to have them imprisoned. The statute was poorly enforced in most areas, and farm wages in England on average doubled between 1350 and 1450,[31] but they were then static until the late 19th century.[32]
Cohn, comparing numerous countries, argues that the laws were not designed primarily to freeze wages. Instead, he says that the energetic local and royal measures to control labour and artisans' prices were responses to elite fears of the greed and the possible new powers of the lesser classes that had gained new freedom. Cohn continues that the laws reflected the anxiety that followed the Black Death's new horrors of mass mortality and destruction and from elite anxiety about manifestations, such as the flagellant movement and the persecution of Jews, Catalans (in Sicily) and beggars.
Of course nothing will stop the ruling class from fuckery.

Luckily, I think the way that I conduct my life leaves me with very low odds for being on anyone's kill list. I only have to worry about the murderous random killing.

Employees would be too busy hunting down CEOs to import stuff for the company.
CEOs would be in Europe.

I always thought those movies were too simplistic.
Some people would think things through.

Yes, during the purge I would do this. But only in this hypothetical situation. During the purge. Hypothetically.

You won't be charged with entering illegally, but staying illegally.
You won't be charged with the import, but for posession. Well I guess for exports, if you procure it and export it quickly and then delete/destroy it from your posessions, its fine. But import? Nah. Whoever end with its possession is fucked.
And for export, they could just charge for the creation of it without approval, not the export itself.
Piracy? Yea they'll just prosecute for posession.
Tax fraud? They'll just shut down IRS for duration of the purge so you can't even file it.
-
The actual purpose of the Purge if to make tax fraud legal for 24 hours so the rich can somehow pay even less taxes.
Unnecessary. They're already doing tax fraud.
