Akima:
Can you be a "known criminal" if you've never been convicted of anything?

BenRG:
I'm pretty sure that this is a feeder to an arc where Lilac tries to put pressure on May to act as her CI inside the Fight Club. May is fairly easy to intimidate; she hated Robot Jail and really doesn't have the emotional strength to stand up to the pressure. The problem is that May is such a fanbot that Llilac ends up with piles of day-to-day trivia about the fighters (whom May worships like the sporting gods they are) and nothing about any of the real illegal activity she's trying to uncover.

Do we know that Corpse Witch has never been convicted of anything?

For that matter, do we know that Bubbles has never been convicted of anything?? She doesn't seem the type, I know, but a trumped-up conviction could help explain the shadow that seems to hang over her.

brasca:
Given what happened with Corpse Witch the last time she repaired May and the current police scrutiny I'm surprised Faye let her enter. 

While May is vulnerable since she's on parole she'll be fine if she can keep her cool.  As far as the general public knows it's an indoor skate park so she can keep up the pretense and claim her friend that works there also repairs AI chassis on the side so she was just paying her a visit.  There's nothing illegal about that unless there is evidence of her participating in illegal robot fighting or gambling.

We may also be overestimating Detective Lilac's abilities.  Bubbles neutralized her by trapping her in a trash can and then a raccoon stole her badge.  I wouldn't be surprised if her peers call her Inspector Gadget.

More to the point, does May know? There are a lot of convicted criminals in the world. Can the cops say "woah there, missy, we saw you go into that grocery store whose owner was once convicted for drunk driving, it's the slammer for you."
