This is not a speeding ticket where you were caught on radar. That's proof.
This is not shoplifting with a witness.
Most cases like Tiffany's come down Proof By Fraudulent Intent.
Even if it looks to the average person like what she did was fraudulent, even if it seems like it must be, the prosecuting attorney needs to prove without a doubt that her actions were taken intentionally. If she didn't realize what she did was against the law, or she "forgot" to change her real property tax status for a few years, it's difficult to take the case forward.
Doing so without some kind of testimony that she said loudly, in public, "I'm ripping off the county," would be a further waste of taxpayer dollars.
