Not as bad if you consider the ending of Mystery Inc. To be canon. They're legal ghosts, no connections to people, they were erased from previous history. So... They're probably not even registered as human citizens anywhere. No kidding they dont get called to court, they're essentially cryptids themselves. Appearing somewhere, solving a mistery and then they're gone with the wind.

Exactly. It doesn't matter if it's an ordinary human in a mask instead of "insert supernatural thing here"; that's still a creep that wants to stop the meddling kids' meddling by any means necessary. Not to mention that Shaggy and Scooby could feasibly be convinced by their friends' blasé attitude that their "adventures" with genuine supernatural forces (such as the events of "Ghoul School", where they not only were threatened with death by several adults, all of whom were monsters, but very nearly died or, in a more modern based timeline, the events of "Reluctant Werewolf", where Shaggy was transformed against his will and nearly enslaved) don't matter. Heck; there's even a fanfic where Daphne and Velma end up having a heart-to-heart about the fact that Daphne interprets the rest of the gang's faked nonchalance at finding her after a kidnapping (driven by genuine relief that they didn't fail her) as them not seeing it as a concern and thus her never bringing up her fear and hurt over the matter. I adore the Scooby gang, in classic, "Pup" and "What's New" incarnations especially, but it's also worth noting that they have some communication gaps that could and should be addressed to strengthen their bonds.

In one of the Live Action films it was Shaggy was stated to have been held back 2 years due to him having a license while the others did not and you get your license at 18 which placed Shaggy as 20 in that series Fred & Daphne at 17 and Velma at 16. (Because Velma said they are year from getting a license) In one of the newer Halloween Directs the sheriff stated that the whole gang is one year away from being considered legally jailable as adults. There is also age gap continuity issues, Maggie (Sugie) Rogers was an infant in APNSD while Shaggy was 7 but in Wedding Bell Boo Direct, Maggie is getting married. There is alsoVelma's sister Madilyn who's age is not known but we know Velma did not have a younger sister in APNSD which Velma was 5 in so Madilyn is at the least way younger then Velma yet Madilyn is not in School either. Their age really kinda depends on the writer of that series, at we also have to remember that even though they may take adult actions or live in their own houses without parents like thats very normal for some teenagers to do in the US. At the oldest Velma be 18, Daphne be 19 and Fred & Shaggy be 20 if going by original canon ages.

To point out with Miner 49'er (Hank) since he scared away the citizens of the mining town Gold City; he would be subjected to 6months (plus $25'000) for each individual claim jumped. As such Gold City looks to be a parody of old timey Bodie, CA (7'000-10'000 population) and old timey / 1960s Virginia City, NV (770 to 15'000 population). For argument sake, say at the time of episode airing... Gold City probably had a population of 5000 give or take. I would say 25% of that population (1,250 +/-) had individual private citizen own prospect claims about a 150ft or so of an area. Areas they can personally claim as their own private property in and around the outside areas of said mine). While probably the other 75% of the mine was claimed by a Corp. which was probably claimed much deeper in and manned / employed locals to operate heavier equipment. So, would be 3 years for Menacing. About 6 months per each individual Prospect Claims being jumped, totaling out to roughly: 750 years total in charges of claim jumping. Not to include Criminal Trespassing of Private Property: 90 Days (3 months) per charge. As well mining states can charge any uncertified individual for reckless endangerment (1year) for entering any mine. Closed/Abandon, Open/Operating. And since he chased the gang all over the town and into the deepest parts of the mine, it would be an additional 1 year, and the charges for Shaggy, Velma, Fred and Daphne would be dropped and placed on his sentence as a total of another 4years (1year each) and another 4years for animal endangerment for Scooby-Doo. Sentence: 1137 years (give or take a few decades) if every single claim owner pressed charges. Not including if the court(s) decided to fined him for the claim jumping as well; which would total in roughly about: $31'250'000.

SPOILERS He escaped from prison definitely killed Marcy Fleach, was implied to have killed Ed Machine, and would probably get felony murder with the death of Cassidy Williams. He tortured Mr. E in the latter half of season two, and along with Fred Jones Senior, threatened the lives of the family’s of the original Mystery Inc, forcing them to flee town. AND THATS JUST THE BIG STUFF

Neat idea, but if Coolsville for Scooby Doo universe has the same judicial sytem as the American real life does. Then half these villains would just acquitted or coukd also serve time for volunteering or many other examples. Not to mention if the jury isn't biased and political motivated. If for real life, these villians would serve for parole and many would be released early if by convincing good behavior. Sideshow Bob from the Simpsons has a lot to say about the flexibility of the court and prison system. Sorry but thinking out loud Edit: forgot to mention that some big wigs had access to money and some with smuggling rings. Bribery is where i forgot to mention
