PCs can always go blowing through the front door guns blazing. It will usually work fine to get in. It's coming out in vertical orientation that becomes hard.

Well there is also a vast difference between "high security corp facility" and a street crime captured on storefront window cams and ATMs. Clearly it IS cost effective to have a security guard or spider monitor the cameras at a secured facility and to respond to threats.

But we're talking about random street violence, right? What would be more relevant is that a random MCT wage slave got murdered on the street in front of a secured Ares facility across the street from an electronics store owned by a subsidiary of NeoNet. MCT obviously has a vested interest in investigating the crime, but when Lone Star shows up (since it their jurisdiction) NeoNet says they didn't have a spider on hand, and their footage is sent to a data store in Singapore anyway so it would take awhile to track it down. Ares on the other hand has their eye on the security contract for that neighborhood. They got the whole thing on tape and even a few guards that witnessed it. Do you think they are going to give up that data? Do you think LS really cares enough to pursue it?

That is the grey area that runners operate in. The fact that they don't use SINs and what not just allows them the anonymity to do so.

Ravor you went well in the wrong direction

I was quoting thats part of Game theory to Support your point, saying that it was the realistic option

Maybe I should have quoted your detractors, my apologies

Sorry, I was feeling extra cranky earlier.
