It's unlikely that RPIs know the law any more than policemen do (cf.

You don't have to go and look elsewhere. However, if you boarded a
train without a ticket, made no effort to find the conductor, and got
gripped some time later, then fairly obvious inferences can be drawn
about your intent to pay.

I wouldn't bother looking for a conductor. The vast majority of the
trains I use don't have 'em. And on the few trains I use which *do*
have them, they come through the train regularly. Therefore there is
never any point looking for them.
