I think that's already happened.

--- Quote from: ZoeB on 23 Sep 2016, 17:29 ---I'm not sure that Faye has actually committed any crime. Morally, she hasn't, and if we're re going to play the legal game, then things like admissibility of evidence, chain of custody etc come in. Technicalities.
I'm also starting to wonder if CW is ex-police. Certainly she has the talent to be a good detective. Good as in effective, not good as in moral.

At the very minimum Faye has violated federal law by accepting undocumented wages.

--- Quote from: Kugai on 23 Sep 2016, 13:52 ---I think that this is either going to end with CW in cuffs on her way to AI Prison
--- End quote ---
She gets killed and comes back as Corpse Lich.
--- End quote ---
Yes I could see her returning to give Bubbles some problems after seemingly dying. Bubbles asks who she is. And she will reply,
"I told you it's CL. Short for Corpse Lich. Well couldn't very wall continue calling myself the Corpse Witch now could I."
--- End quote ---
That was...8-)...masterfully done.
Perfectly Reasonable:
Interesting that Officer Lilac chooses to talk with Faye father than someone else at the skate park. She has good intel. She's carefully probing for weaknesses. And Corpse Witch knows it. She has good intel. She knows that Bubbles has been coming out of her shell, and engaging in a life beyond CW's control. Thanks to Faye, who is the real disruptive influence here.
Why the sudden interest in the skate park? I suspect that someone Higher Up will be up for re-election soon. Which does not mean that Officer Lilac is not disgusted by what the Big Fish are doing.
As for the favorite wrench, Doctor Faye knows a two ton bolted-to-the floor AI who can make it as good as new.

--- Quote from: Emperor Norton on 23 Sep 2016, 10:39 ---Do you really think that police coercing criminals to turn on their higher ups is reprehensible? I consider it good policing.
--- End quote ---
Nobody is safe if coerced testimony is allowed in the system. Informants are dangerous as hell to the innocent. See the Orange County jailhouse informant scandal or the Cameron Todd Willingham case.
The Pugnacious Peach would never turn in a friend, certainly not an innocent one. She would never consent to setting up an innocent person. There are lots of criminals out there who have less character than Faye. If they are career informants they have to keep producing in order to stay free. Creating informants by arm-twisting is fraught with peril whether you think it reprehensible or not.
--- End quote ---
You can't rely on it alone, you need good evidence that corroborates, but there are lots of pretty bad people who would never get caught if the police wasn't allowed to put pressure on people lower down the food chain.
I mean, by all rights, if it is well known, the detective could have hauled Faye in RIGHT THEN. But she didn't. She pointed out that she could, but she didn't. Yeah, that is very stressful for Faye. But it is supposed to be. And Faye put herself in this position. When you do illegal things, you make yourself a target for police investigation. And a police officer pointing out "hey, you are doing something illegal, I could arrest you." is hardly unsurprising.
This is in the same level of threat as when someone is screwing up at work and the manager calls them in and says if they screw up again they are fired. You either do what I want (stop screwing up your job/turn over evidence) or face the logical consequences of your action (get fired/go to jail).
This isn't like threatening someone with something that isn't the known societal consequences of the actions they took.
