I don't know about the US, but in the UK when I was working in the cash economy, I simply declared the income on my tax return and paid tax on it as normal. The sources of the income were pretty vaguely listed, and no doubt if the tax man had decided to do a full investigation into my affairs they'd have been seeking a lot of clarification, but fundamentally, here at least, they like to make it easy for you to pay tax, and if you're obviously not living a megabucks lifestyle why should they bother to look hard at you when there are so many better targets? Of course many people working in the cash economy don't pay tax, in the hope they won't get caught, but that's a choice.
Is it cold in here?:
Global Moderator Comment I've moved police-related posts that aren't about the comic to DISCUSS, in two different threads, one about talking to the police and one about police conduct in general. It hasn't been my best work, sad to say. It's more a ragged tear than a split.

That having been said, that cop just made an enemy, you can read it in Faye's expression. If that cop is actually competent, that was on purpose rather than accidental.

Making an enemy of The Pugnacious Peach on purpose is something I'd only do for very good reason. How would it help Nameless Cop with her job?
Truec:
Okay, I have a wild and bizarre theory that is going to turn the way we're looking at this on it's head.
Maybe it actually is exactly what it looks like. An AI cop is making contact with and leaning on a low level employee in an illegal but tolerated shady area to let her know if anything worse starts happening. No secret tests of character or impending crackdown required.

I actually have a theory about this, but having read QC before, I don't want to spoil it if Jeph is thinking the same way I am (and he might be, but I also might be wrong).
Interesting developments!
