Especially since after season five, he’d be AWOL for missing the boat home.
The Legal Eagle has the answers.
Point taken as far as Burns is concerned. But Hawkeye’s the one who trades Henry’s prized oak desk for drugs unbeknownst to Henry (I mean, I think that gets investigated). He’s the one who crashes the peace talks to throw a tantrum (a well-deserved tantrum, admittedly, but still). He and Trapper are the ones who invent fictitious Captain Tuttle and donate his back pay to the local orphanage (a good cause, no doubt about it, but…)
I’m pretty sure Archer is guilty of at least a few misdemeaners… And a lot of felonies. It’s hard to rampage without 'em.
I was looking for a list of all the crimes committed by Greg House, which is almost as extensive as Tony Soprano - but the most interesting thing I discovered is that despite the obvious parallels to Sherlock Holmes, it had never occurred to me that he was named for the House - Home - Holmes synonym/pun. Was that always obvious to everyone but me?
Keanu (the Key&Peele movie, not Reeves) lampshades this. They go on a rampage of destruction trying to get their cat back who was taken by a gang leader. At the end of the day they save the day, get the cat back… and promptly go to jail
Rebuttal by Janos Skorzeny.
One of the few moments I remember from that show that does not involve Daisy Duke in her Daisy Dukes went something like:
Roscoe: You Duke boys are under arrest! (giggles)
Bo (or maybe Luke): Under arrest? What for?
Roscoe: For… for… (a thought breaks through the confusion) For breaking the law!
Luke (or maybe Bo): Roscoe, you have to be a little more specific…
Chris in Get Out was definitely going to have a hard time explaining the trail of destruction left in his wake, and in the original planned ending he was indeed arrested - IIRC Peele changed the ending because he thought a more hopeful resolution was needed at the time.
Very good
If anyone is guilty of a crime in Home Alone (other than the Wet Bandits of course), then it’s Kevin’s idiotic parents, for neglect.
I’m fairly confident that during the dramatic climax of Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade the Italian authorities are already compiling an extradition request to the US for the arrest of the man who destroyed the priceless floor of the Venice Library.
It was the middle of WWII. What’s a bit more property damage to Italy?
Batman was always a safe driver and as a deputized officer of Gotham City only sped when in pursuit of Joker, Riddler, Egghead, or any other of those dastardly villains.
Help me count the crimes in Animal House:
- Stautory rape
- Cruelty to animals (the horse)
- Serving alcohol to minors
and I can’t even remember the various crimes committed in the mayhem of the final scene.
I’m sure the Deathmobile committed many moving infractions.
I think it’s implied, though, that in the John Wick universe the assassins are allowed to operate outside the conventional legal system as long as they don’t target “civilians.”
I don’t think what Wick does is legal even in his universe. In the first movie a police officer comes to his door due to a noise complaint and says “Are you working again John?” So the police officer presumably knows he’s an assassin (probably because he’s that infamous) but if John Wick doesn’t want to be arrested, do you want to be the cop to try to bring him in? If he were captured, then he certainly would be in a pile of trouble. Probably get a sympathetic jury on explaining this all started because they Russians killed his dog (I’m joking).
It is actually interesting that Wick never harms any police or security that are not associated to this target. That is something which is quite frequent in movies. The protagonist knocks would a security guard and clobbers a police officer, but it is excused because “greater good”, whereas in reality, that’s not going to fly.
They were planning insurance fraud before they were expelled, too.
