Perfectly Reasonable:
In a sensible world, AIs wishing to fight in arena combat would be allowed to do so, since it is clear that real damage to their core personas is extremely unlikely. And those wishing to bet on the outcomes would be allowed to do so -- within reasonable limits. It appears that the QC-verse is not yet perfect in this respect. Giving latitude to the Big Fish that Officer Lilac is interested in. And pie.
themacnut:
Whenever something is prohibited, there is potential opportunity for an enterprising individual not overly concerned about little things like legality.

The robot fighting may not be the problem, but the gambling. is another matter Only a few states and reservations allow anything beyond lotteries. And even if it is legal there's always people who want to evade taxes like those people who spend all their time making moonshine. Prohibition ended decades ago, but moonshiners don't want to pay any taxes so they engage in an activity that is legal, but with some restrictions. And of course there is marijuana which many will swear up and down is harmless, but that doesn't matter to law enforcement. We still don't know enough to determine if the police bot is just a cog in the legal machinery or truly believes in what she's doing.
Wonder if the source of Hannelore's insomnia is the same as her eating disorder.
Sullivan:
You know, I can completely see Hanners picking locks as a hobby.
Deadman:
Insomniac Hannelore is quite pleasing reminds me a bit of early Hannelore really hopeful this vib shows up more.
