There's something you forgot to add: At 9:45, in addition to Gru's Reckless Driving charge, we see that the person on the guardrail is fishing. However, Gru accidentally knocks him over with the vehicle. Although the sea/water is right next to the person, he probably got serious injured due to the hard surface of the cliff. Due to this, I don't think this poor man made it alive. I'm counting this as Manslaughter. Even in a case where the person managed to survive, that may have been Battery. Also, if the person survived or died, this would (maybe) be Reckless Endangerment since he was on a cliff and was very close to falling off. (wait nevermind hes reckless endangering himself). (also the fishing pole might've broke so ill count that as property damage and would make gru pay atleast 35 dollars.) Because of the Manslaughter and Property Damage charges, Gru's sentence would be 90.25 years, $infinite criminal damage (infinity+35=infinity), 2 life sentences, his lair being shut down, and points taken off his license.

Assuming he doesn't have proper licenses for production, ownership, and the operation of his weapons, is speculation. It would never pass in a court of law.
