BenRG:
I've got to say that Bubbles could not have made her life worse if she'd tried. I mean, in legal terms, Bubbles did nothing wrong. Did she try to trap a cop? No, Lilac hid and didn't identify herself, so any decent lawyer could claim that Bubbles literally had no idea that a cop was in the bottom trash can.
However, in the real world, Lilac must know why Bubbles did what she did. There are a thousand and one ways that a cop could make the life of someone like Bubbles very, very difficult. She doesn't even need to arrest her; just make sure uniforms know that she is a 'person of interest' and that her every public appearance needs to be scrutinised and doing even the simplest thing made amazingly inconvenient to the point where her friends start ostracising her as 'the cop magnet' and every shop knows that letting her come through the door inevitably leads to a raid a few days later.
Bubbles' actions were understandable but, ultimately, horribly self-destructive.

As a point of interest, robocop is in the top bin. Compare relation to drainpipe and litter. Bubbles is strong.
Doc:
Don't bully the racoons! :x

All very true.
However, 1) The folks in the OCverse seem to be all-around generally less crappy than those of our world (for now) and 2) Detective Lilac also can't even prove that Bubbles is the one who stacked the cans.
TinPenguin:
Especially given Faye has prior convictions for stacked cans.
