Taxation is policy. It matters not just in quantity (which you can rightfully question) but (more importantly) quality.

Would you say that legitimately pursuing a law-evader somehow inevitably leads to a police-state?

Not invariably, but it very well could. It depends on what the laws are. Same as here it depends on what the taxes are and how they are spent.
