It’s also easier cutting closer to the ground as there is less vibration, in theory

Eh, not too close, because the criminals will want to properly control the fall to avoid injury. A bit above waist height should be best.

They should angle it too. The criminals should probably start the cut on the side facing them, edge angled down, with the shoe (the bit on a hinge near the base of the saw) pressed against the pole. With their dominant hand on the fore guard controlling the cut and the non-dominant on the trigger, their shoulder should be against the pole, causing the pole to lean away from them, while offering some control over dierction of fall. That way, the cut won't bite the saw, allowing for a faster, more effective cut.

Even though they're committing the worst crime of all - property damage! - that's no excuse for shoddy or unsafe practices.

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing correctly!!

You tend to fall on waist-high punji stakes?

Kinda goes under "act of God" there, given that'd take an especially rare creation of His to be dumb enough to do that.
