Some people, including me, see faye as both a bully and a thug. Threats and violence are often her go to moves in any situation. Even Jeph has said he would not want her in his life. So yes, it is good and appropriate that her actions have negative consequences.

That's been one of my biggest problems with her character especially with the earlier strips. She's gotten better since then, but her reaction was irrational and ultimately failed. She didn't force Corpse Witch to be nice or apologize to May. The threat still stands and now it applies to Faye as well. Moreover, if she wanted to help out any other AIs in need of repairs that's no longer possible since she doesn't have a workshop to use. And she didn't have any consideration for what Bubbles wanted to do. While it's possible that CW is extorting her there's also the possibility that she just can't venture out into the world for very long without having problems. It would be no different than if she wanted Hannelore to abandon an immaculate living environment to live with 2 other messy people for an indefinite amount of time.
In some ways it's fitting that she's currently in the arms of another character who has problems with impulse control. Perhaps May can help her with that.

I was stating that the tone of the posts were starting to sound like stuff that happened during the Dorapocalypse - which was about the time that it seemed almost a joke that any WCDT* would get locked in short order.
* - Sorry, I had a brain fart and called the "Weekly Comics Discussion Thread" by the name of another type of thread I post on another message board: "Game Day Thread". It's been a long damn week, and it's only Tuesday.

What is Faye going to go to the cops with? As Officer Rosko said, even the small time gambling is barely even a crime. The officer would seem to have a major bee in her bonnet about the place, which is why she hurtled in when she thought there might actually be evidence of something bad going on but apart from that... By the looks of things, under UK law at least, far more trouble could be caused by whistle blowing to the taxman.

Far more likely that May will make her impulse control problems worse. She'd happily buy Faye the first bottle that sends her on another bender, and only realize afterwards that Faye has a problem with alcohol abuse.

Tax authorities were the ones that actually got Capone. But I think that officer Basilisk's deciding to come in and pull a weapon was that she thought an AI was being hurt, and that's what the "bee in her bonnet" about robo-Fight Club is likely about. Different AIs, much like different people have different ideas on how to pursue justice for AIs. Momo is an activist. Basilisk is a cop who seems to be trying to stay just within the limits of her power.
