I think the Narrator and Carl are two different people, and this is why:

Carl has thoughts that the narrator does not comment on. You see them on the walls and geometry of the landscape when the player interacts with set dressing. Where as the narrator's scene-painting will cover explicit and innocuous details with jump in logic far beyond the immediate setting, Carl's thoughts-on-the-wall observation are terse, short, and in the moment. The two styles really don't overlap in terms of tone and content.

As a guess, I would actually say the Narrator is the dead man, Hamilton: An insufferably eloquent prick with an educated superiority complex, weaving a grand tale of how his untimely demise was brought to justice in some convoluted Sherlock Holmes fanfic.

Stealing from a toll booth: Fliers
Government issue pamphlets are intended for distribution free of charge, it is public property!

Stealing from a private campsite: 6 matches, lantern, beer bottle.
The accused was cleaning up a clearly abandoned campsite, and no private property postings were visible or apparent!

Lighting 2 fires and leaving them unattended.
Leaving fire unattended at cabin.
Leaving fire unattended outside second cabin.
The accused used containerized fire receptacles, and you cannot half accuse the accused of arson when no arson occurred!

FURTHER...



Drakenel posted:

Trespassing past said road barrier.
Allegations of destruction and/or tampering of government transportation signage and structures aside, the accused is NOT trespassing, as the accused has both a formal invitation by one of the residents/estates of Manastan, and an employment contract with one of the residents/estates of Manastan!

Drakenel posted:

Stealing from a postbox(Hello felony): Gun, mail+key.
Allegations of mail theft aside, an unsecured firearm itself is not a legal postal object, and therefore the specific removing of the firearm from the postbox is not subject to a violation of postal law!

Drakenel posted:

Open carrying a firearm without a license (Presumedly. I highly doubt this man ever got a license.)
The accused is a resident of Montreal, which is in the province of Quebec, and Manastan is in the province of Quebec as well. As a private investigator, and as a Korean War veteran, the accused should have a firearms license as part of his employment, and that license should extend throughout, at the very least, the entire province of Quebec!
Further, carrying a firearm in rural and wilderness areas, be it concealed or open, is not only common but accepted due to local wildlife!
Even further, the accused is not open carrying a firearm but rather securing the firearm in his stomach, where it will not accidentally discharge nor endanger himself or others!

I know you're looking at another game for the next streaming, but in the spirit of goofy detective antics and a town hell bent on turning on each other...

I suggest Bugsnax as a future option.
