People get arrested for petty vandalism all the time, even if they didn't petty vandalize.

The police won't bother to track down who graffitied your fence, but money-making companies are a different matter.

And it definitely depends on demography. I assume they're still using it, but maybe they just plug everyone's face into Palantir now.

Maybe cops are different where you live, but here in Seattle, I cannot imagine a crime so trivial as "someone broke the speaker on a gas pump" ever rising high enough on the SPD priority list for anyone to lift a finger about it, no matter how well-documented it may have been.

It would not surprise me to hear that someone had committed a crime of that scale while being watched by an SPD officer and still gotten away with it.
