Ok so...my guess is that the answer would be 'probably not' but I am now wondering if May had been fast enough to get the fighter jet body and upload into it that even if she would still be arrested that the body in question would still be considered her own due to technicality.
Also, on the note of ownership back near hte beginning there were anthropc parks and one of the anthropcs commented about being shut down and being repainted and changed and hating the new look, that was clearly a nonconsensual body modding so would the owner be liable for damaging the AIs property or is that one of those things we kind of handwave from the earliest periods as the world was still finding its feet?

I think that was handwaved away as the strip went away from AI as robopets to AI as companions/individuals with rights.

Probably not given that she would have bought it with stolen funds.

That would be my guess admittedly but I suddenly imagined a setup where the laws technically as written didn't account for the body being gained illegally and were more 'once you are uploaded into it it is your and cannot be taken'

It’s really hard to say. I’m never sure how much early comics are still considered canon, or what has been implicitly retconned. They’re also far back enough that I’m not really troubled by continuity errors.
