Yes, it was evidence enough to be worth looking at, but if it was
observed to be routine there could be a prosecution. With station
staff this would be a lot easier than with roaming inspectors of
course, because they'd remember the faces.


Why does routine payment of a PF constitute evidence for prosecution ?
There's no law against deliberately paying a PF and doing so every journey.

To constitute evidence, they'd have to observer the persun paying a
PF "every so often", and then having covert cameras (with NO RPIs checking
tickets), to prove that the persun was attempting to pay ONLY WHEN
CHALLENGED.
