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.

Don't need something trumped up -- she's already guilty of two crimes. 2nd one being that she works at the fight club. The first one being that she didn't hand in her chasis. She has a military grade body and civilians are not allowed to use such equipment. CW already has used that to pressure her.

CW's implied threat was that she'd lose her military chassis much like anyone else loses their property if it's impounded and auctioned off because it was used for criminal purposes. Moreover, if possessing that chassis was an offense the federal government would be paying her a visit not a state police AI. As for the first offense the inspector has to provide indisputable proof that an illegal fight club is being operated there. If not a halfway decent defense attorney will get the case thrown out.
And remember the billboard, Better Call HAL!

And yes, May can hardly plead ignorance. Well, she can try. I doubt it will wash, though.

Especially when its quite blatantly written across her face.
May can't prove she got the repairs done at a legitimate establishment and I think some of the industrial gear at the club requires certain licenses to own, so she can't claim a couple of friends helped her out for free.
May is stuck between a rock and a hard place and lets not forget that she is still technically a parolee.
Perfectly Reasonable:
And changing her face from blue to khaki to white is suspicious, amirite?
NyxDarkness:
With the possibility that CW and Bubbles may have criminal history, what about Faye, even. Knowing her history of having a temper, as well as being a recovering alcoholic, who can say that she doesn't have some old, long-forgotten assault charge? May was seen speaking with Faye by the agent herself.
Also, if THEY wanted that badly to take the shop down, it would only take a small reason to investigate and 'accidentally' stumble upon the fights.
This is strictly speculation, of course. We shall see where this goes from here. There's too much setup for Jeph not to follow through, I think.
