Corrected entry: The girl with the puffs shouldn't be allowed to try and steal the candy bar at the beginning of the movie. The purge is the only time where crime is legal and it wasn't purge time yet, so theft wouldn't have been legal.
The Purge: Election Year (2016)
1 corrected entry
Directed by: James DeMonaco
Starring: Frank Grillo, Elizabeth Mitchell, Mykelti Williamson, Ethan Phillips, Joseph Julian Soria
Continuity mistake: In the scene with the shootout in the parking garage of the church, the BMW 3 Series that is used to ram the opposite car thus killing the soldiers is visible back in its original parking spot in a later scene.
Schoolgirl #1 Freakbride: I want my candy bar.
Question: People with a rank of 10 or higher are immune from the purge, this means the NFFA and Senator Roan are immune. Why put themselves at risk of getting killed by removing the restriction if they could've had her delivered as plan, killed, and then denied her murder at the conclusion of the purge?
Answer: Because they believed in what the purge represented. In their eyes it is a legal thing, so in order for them to legally get rid of the senator they had to remove the restriction legally, not break the law.

Correction: It wasn't legal, she had to give it back, that's the whole reason she came back when the purge had started, to get her candy bar.

Also, the fact that it was illegal is likely why she attempted it in the first place. With petty crimes like shoplifting, some people enjoy the thrill of breaking the law and escaping any consequences; at the end of the day, no-one is seriously hurt and, at worst, the vendor being stolen from is out a couple of bucks in profit. And if they should happen to get caught, they can use the fact that it was non-violent as leverage for a lighter sentence.
