> I could turn off anyone's electricity by either unscrewing the main fuses there or by switching the breaker

In some countries this is crime which might land you in jail.

Most people abstain from committing crime not because they will go to jail, but because pointlessly harming another human being is stupid, a waste of time and effort, pointless, and only makes the world worse.
