I like how Gru does more villainous acts unknowingly than he does trying to be a villain, and people said he wasn’t cut out for it, sure proves them wrong.
Minions wouldn't follow him otherwise, a knowing villain can be changed or punished, if you try that with Gru he would end up hurting you in return (accidentally)
@@PusheenDeCat I think at some point it turned into that, but they are instinctually attracted to evil. They found Gru through instinct, got attached to him through sentient intelligence.
Can I just comment on the fact that Gru apparently has the endurance to withstand several missile blasts, the reflexes to dodge multiple missiles, and the strength to literally backhand Vectors shark?
Let’s not forget that Vector also held the girls away from Gru unless he gave him the Moon, which could probably be considered ransom, that’s an extra ten years for Vector.
no? There's just has to be a transaction where one party lies and doesn't hold up their end of the transaction. Whether the transaction itself is legal or not is unimportant when considering fraud. That said I'm no lawyer, so I know I'm wrong about something here.
I like how once Gru takes the moon, he has a charge more than Vector. Thus showing that stealing the moon is the greatest achievement of a super villain.
Pretty sure stealing the moon would be a crime against the entire planet and probably result in his swift execution at the hands of whichever country payed the most to do it
for those saying "boobytrapping is illegal" none of those were acutally automatic to be considered "boobytraps", they were controlled by vector in real time so it counts as weapons and not traps, no charges
I love how during this entire video gru or vector weren’t charged for possession of illegal firearm. I guarantee neither of them have a licence for it.
I do appreciate that at the end for Gru's he got some points off his license. Like, man's already got life sentences, millions in fines, etc. The fact his license isn't just revoked would be astonishing at thar point.
In my eyes for Gru if these sentences would be revoked on him it would already be too late since he saved the world literally twice after the first film!!!
I know right. Judge: You may go after we address one more punishment. Gru: What can make this worse. Tell me. Judge: points off your license. Gru: NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
3:55 I dont know why but the narrator giving a full proffessional analysis as to why this is a crime over slow mo footage of Gru getting absolutely devoured is just hilarious to me
Some of it is wrong tho. Depending on what state or country you live in, he should go off of what the prosecutor would give the villain in the villains city.
Gru actually wouldn't be fined or punished for stealing the moon. According to article 2 of the Space Treaty, "Outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means.The development of international space law has revolved much around outer space being defined as the 'province of all mankind'. This means that the moon is not owned by any person, enterprise, or government, and therefore Gru can not be charged for stealing it since it doesn't even belong to anybody
@@krypticunlimited6925 you have to remember that by taking the moon he endangers the whole humanity in many complex ways, so while stealing moon is not considered theft, it would be considered a crime against humanity or smth
@@krypticunlimited6925 I think it would be classified as international terrorism due to the role it plays in the world's natural order and he did it specifically because the world would react with fear and desperation.
@@lordblack998 a shark would also be an exotic pet, as well as being kept in poor conditions (the sewers, far too cramped and disgusting) which would make another hefty fine
I just imagine the judge at the court: "Okay vector, so your sentence is a whole life in prison, after that you'll be arrested for your whole life again, and after that ends you'll also stay 112 years in prison, thank you and good day."
Fun Fact: You have higher chances to find an immortal in prison than out at the wild because of life sentences. Let’s hope Vector is that immortal man 👍
Don’t forget he communicates with criminals and uses illegally obtained money from the evil bank (that’s how I think they get their profit it’s that or their a legitimate bank)
A few more things I noticed Gru did which are illegal: - During the scene where he has the idea to abandon the girls, they're climbing all over him and clearly not wearing seatbelts. It's the responsibility of the driver (Gru) to ensure all passengers are wearing seatbelts so he would likely get more points off his license for that. - During one of the sky chase sequences, there's a radiation symbol on some of the rockets, implying Gru may have access to nuclear weapons. A civilian having nuclear weaponry is obviously very illegal and likely a war crime.
I feel like Grand Larceny would be an understatement because of how massive of a theft stealing the Moon would be. But given how there isn’t a name for a crime like this I can understand that being the the crime you would give.
Side note for vector, he gets away with those traps only because they are manually activated. Otherwise they would be classified as boobytraps and considered illegal.
@@DanielLCarrier Not to mention that trap was built into city property, codde inforcements gonna have a trident up his ass and force him to tear all that out
Well yes, but the fact that they are activated via a keyboard means that if he mistakes the trap keyboard with a normal one, he would be charged with manslaughter.
@onerandomdragonlover8578 For breaking and entering, Gru would get time in prison and a fine for what he damaged to get into Vectors layer. He's already getting time in prison for breaking in there, but he just won't get a fine as he repaired the wall completely after he broke in there.
I like how in addition to life in prison and Infinite monetary reparations, Gru also has to worry about some points off his liscense and by far the scariest thing, OSHA Violations
@@airistasty2754 and also he becomes a hero in the sequels. He even admitted himself in Despicable Me 3 that even though he was fired, he doesn't want to be back as a villain.
Also, if you look at Gru's missiles on the plane, there are nuclear symbols on some of them. This goes into actual War Crime territory of the usage of Nuclear Weaponry
@@andrijajankovic3865 even though the actual crimes he commited were from ultron (one of Tony Stark's Creations), but tony stark didn't have intent for it to happen
During the Vector part, you also could've gotten him for multiple counts of owning illegal fireworks and firearms, as well as reckless endangerment and destruction of property (Roads and sidewalks, and there is no doubt due to the size of the explosion that bystanders had their ear drums suffer major damage, actually get caught in the explosion, or have their residencies destroyed or damaged.)
Not to mention that aside from the federal Vector v State charges loads of civilians would press charges and win their respective cases racking vector an unimaginable amount of money owed on top everything.
I would like to add that Vector and Gru both evade taxes, Vector most likely disassembled the pyramid ie destroyed it to move it AND *Gru has literal nuclear(not radiation warning like on some radar warheads, but literal nukes) warning on one of the missiles his car is armed with.*
Because of the case Katko v. Briney, Vector would also be charged for the traps he has on his property. The case basically says that a homeowner can’t set deadly traps on their property to cause harm to a trespasser
@@nesyboi9421 Is very American and should be legal. Don't want to get maimed/killed by a shotgun trap? Maybe don't attempt to break into people's homes...
I'd like to argue that Vector should get charged for reckless endangerment for every tra- defence he has that aims onto the street. Since they can be activated by what appears to be a regular keyboard, there's a chance he could accidentally activate the traps on random people, thus either killing or seriously harming them
Also he has several clearly automatic weapons, alongside military-grade missiles and full-on nuclear weapons. There's some unlawful possession charges somewhere in there.
Additional offenses: O'hare 2:09 - Unlawful Search & Seizure. He did not have a search warrant, nor would he even have the authority to execute the search anyway Vector 5:25 - Operating an unregistered aircraft and he more than likely does not have a pilot license Gru 7:29 - Property Damage, Leaving the scene of an accident 7:40 - Attempted Murder 7:43 - Trespassing, Destruction of Property, Breaking & Entering 7:56 - Operating an unregistered aircraft, doing so without a license, safety violations 9:39 - Breaking & Entering, Destruction of Property 9:41 - None of them appear to be wearing a seatbelt, 1 additional count of Operating an unregistered vehicle 10:26 - Child Endangerment 11:22 - Operating an unregistered spacecraft, doing so without a license, and Criminal Negligence resulting in Bodily Harm (The Surfers were injured as a direct result of his actions)
I think vector is guilty of two more cases of animal abuse, one for the squid launcher and one for keeping a shark in the sewers (or at least animal negligence for allowing it to get into the sewers). Also sharks are a protected species and therefore illegal to keep as pets.
He did put the wall back though, so I feel like a trespassing charge is fair. Also, he was just annoyed and blew of steam but wasn't trying to actually kill Vector. The other additional offences are fair.
I Would add that shrinking the moon and stealing it would cause all sorts of destruction due to the sudden gravitational shift of Earth, leading to the death of millions of people. This would warrant a death penalty for Planetary Terrorism
For Vector, his traps that hurt Gru during the trespassing are actually illegal aswell beacuse you cant boobytrap your home. Stealing the moon would also cause massive destruction on earth and would probably be the highest form of terrorism.
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.
There hasn't really been any fictional villain that has committed any more type of crimes than Gru, and he achieved just that. He gets more points for his crimes from childhood as well.
I guarantee you there is. I've personally written one. First degree murder x73, first degree attempted murder x87, mutilation x124 (flaying alive), mutilation x35 (loss of sight), mutilation x184 (loss of limbs), kidnapping x22, torture x12, theft x743, grand larceny x174, taking a hostage x78, criminal negligence x532, grand theft auto x15, possession of unlicensed firearm (I think that's the charge?) x52, racketeering x60, fraud x12, driving an unregistered vehicle x12, reckless driving x50, reckless endangerment x72, trespassing x30, breaking and entering x30, assault & battery x2532, assault with a deadly weapon x4235, terrorism x9, I kinda lost count of how many unlawful surveillance, stalking, and various cybercrime charges he'd have, abuse of a political office (I forget the exact charge) x4, misappropriation of political campaign funds x2, and one single charge of treason/rebellion. A total of somewhere between 28 and 34 different types of crime.
@@sasha.casha.simakov he would've done worse. Taking away the moon would caused tens of millions of deaths, and the chaos of it all would cause riots and such making it worse than some war crimes.
Easily the best episode you’ve done so far. Clarifying the crimes and showing the sentence is a nice touch. Including the villains heights as well is also nice.
90 years and three months in federal prison, life without bail, a VERY hefty criminal charge that includes stealing the moon, his workplace being shutdown, and points off his license, and this is just in one movie. Let's not forget that this went as far as his childhood, and in the third movie, he went back to villainy, albeit briefly. Not to mention some illegal acts he may have caused in the second movie.
After doing some math, to those that want to know the actual price Gru needed to pay for stealing the moon, it would've added up to over 314 nonillion dollars. That's greater than the current US debt by trillions.
@@BakedAlaskaTM I may be underestimating that, but all I know is that right now, the US is at least quintillions of dollars in debt. I learned that in my last year in high school, which was seven years ago, and with what has happened in the world recently, it's likely to have climbed to the sextillions by now.
I don't think the lack of safeguards and hard hats could count, as minions are considered invulnerable. The anti gravity Potion leading to a minion floating to space is definitely a violation though
@@defcon4215 Probably, that has the potential to add massive blows like: below minimum salary for employment (if they are legally imployed which I doubt) this can also get him in trouble for potential human trafficking which I doubt aswell since the minions are doing it consensually, This could also get him in trouble adoption laws wise but yet again, this isn't all straight
The thing is OSHA doesn't cover self-employment which is kinda what the minions are doing (choosing to just work for him) or other organizations/federations which you could argue the minions run their own organization and aren't bound by any nation. At most I would consider the minions as pets/animals despite their intelligence they aren't considered humans.
A couple days late, but something else worth mentioning are weapon laws. Not only is possession of a deadly weapon a crime in certain places (e.g. Gru bringing the fireball gun to the fair) but if we assume Despicable Me is set in America, weapon manufacturers require a licence, something no villains would have. This means that you can add the illegal manufacture of deadly weaponry to the list of crimes.
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. Gru is unpredictable, and he could get the necessary licenses. I mean, he attacks a line of people to get coffee, but then tips, he's not exactly a stable man.
@@thekingoffailure9967 Because the two things you mentioned share no relationship with eachother... Weapons manufacturing licenses aren't just given out, there is a huge headache of a legal process you would have to go through which GRU would be disqualified from due to his criminal history.
I don't think it would be illegal for them to manufacture their weapons though because they aren't doing so with the intent of selling. Pretty sure it's legal to manufacture weapons for personal use, so long as the manufactured guns don't violate gun laws, otherwise the whole 3d printing gun groups would have faced a crackdown a long time ago.
It's also illegal to have Booby traps even on your own property or in your own home. So vector having those guns and that punching fist guarding his hideout is another charge.
No, from what I recall, traps are fine provided you are on the property in question, at least according to the Iowa Supreme Court. So you can't have traps if you are not home, but since Vector was in the building the legal precedent is that it's fine. But since I doubt a villain is a registered SOC and explosives manufacturer, add unlawful use of destructive devices/explosives...
Gru was just wanting to be a villain. He does have a change of heart at the end of the first film, and while he did some pretty “despicable” things, he’s not really evil.
@@lookatjayzjewelz No, they're not dead. It's very likely that emergency services would be able to thaw them, and give proper treatment in order to make sure they survive the injuries.
@@anoriginalname410 I ain't making any argument but I would assume by the time the police would get there the victims would have suffocated by then, so we could say 1st degree murder X7 (counting Vector) assuming the authorities couldn't get there In time.
Can stealing The Moon be counted as merely Grand Larceny? I feel like that's a crime of such magnitude and with such negative, if not cataclysmic, consequences that they'd have to invent a whole new criminal charge and probably see it tried in an international court...
the moon isnt technically owned by anybody, and you cant steal something that isnt owned by anyone, so i dont think you can count it. (the outer space treaty) but since its agreed that nobody can own it, its arguable if its legal or not. If it isnt, i dont think we would be able to predict what Gru would be sentenced to, if he would be at all.
@@pun9052 But will cause countless disasters to humanity, yk, the moon is basically the property of the earth, in a way it counts for us too, quite differently than really having it though. idk if u understand what i'm talkin' lol
You COULD make an exception as its generally stated and ruled(from my knowledge) that in areas that you arent expected to have privacy, its not illegal to film/record, but also the cameras are probably WAY too close to many houses, which kind of screws over his whole immunity
I love how Gru is randomly fined 7 dollars and points off his driving licence (Which I'm not sure if he has one because I don't know which kind of licence allows you to drive that) along all these serious crimes... And OSHA violations
Wouldn't 9:37 be a breaking and entering charge? Not only did Gru trespass on Vector's property, he destroyed a piece of his wall and entered his home against Vector's will.
Aren't the envioremental effects of Gru stealing the moon considered a crime? I don't know which one its considered, but its probably a war crime (death sentence or life in prison). It could also be considered negligence too because he didn't consider the envioremental impacts this would cause.
Not really, since it’s clear that within the movie’s universe that the moon isn’t as important to the earth’s inhabitability as it is in real life. The entire planet would quickly become nigh unsurvivable after gru shrinks the moon. While there were some environmental effects shown, they were more so played for laughs and even then aren’t completely accurate to what actually happens.
@@TheStopwatchGod It's a cardinal number. Basically a cardinal constraint pattern. Gru would give ℵ to the bank an ℵ amount of times every 0,00^ℵ ℵseconds on an amount of times of ℵ.
8:36 “Do you really think this is an appropriate place for little kids? Because it’s not.” Margo was able to expose Gru for his child endangerment and negligence there.
Vector actually deserved way more for the possesion of automatic hidden defense weapons without signaling them and for the activation of guided missiles in the middle of a residential area putting everyone at Risk
Missiles in an urban environment still endanger everyone around if the miss there target. Even if they hit, the mass of rockets could cause an explosion which is so big it destroyes houses close by and probably kills a few people
I think you could also include emissions violations on O'Hare. I might be wrong, but he does conspire to worsen the air quality on purpose at one point.
4:45 The computer states that the missiles are heat seeking so if an airplane is in the vacinity of the missiles the missiles would lock on. Considering most comercial planes don't have flares this could endanger civilians
In Gru's defense, he did go to rescue the girls when Vector kidnapped them, and the moon was ultimately returned. Vector got himself stuck there of his own accord.
Judging only by some of the rocket's and missiles in his possession, both Gru and Vector would receive multiple life sentences merely through possession of nuclear objects beyond a certain weight. Also unless it has been changed I believe domestic manufacturing of nuclear or "dirty" weapons is one of the few felonies that would almost automatically get you the death sentence even in states without capital punishment. Being members of and participating in the League of Villians (can't remember the name) and the Bank of Villians would probably also constitute as espionage, participating in acts of terror and other charges. They would both most likely receive multiple death sentences. Nevermind stealing a pyramid or the moon (causing destruction on an apocalyptic scale)
Can’t forget gru and vector building and possessing weaponry that they definitely do not have licenses for and do not have stored legally or safely, gru and vector were also illegally flying homemade aircraft in airspace they definitely are not legally authorized for. The minion slave factory raises a lot of questions, and I’m not sure they’re entirely legal. The amount of construction gru and vector have done without permits is also questionable. And I would consider those people that got frozen in the beginning dead. No way you survive being frozen in solid ice. Gru and vector also operate with that villain bank, so there must be some form of charge related to that completely illegal business. Also vector definitely is not supposed to have a shark, and is definitely not treating it correctly. Gru stealing the moon could be considered a crime against humanity.
I’m sure it actually is possible to be frozen and still be alive but that’s something we haven’t figured out yet. And if vector can survive a head freeze than I’m sure those civilians will be fine.
@@grizzly_manbanimation8436 No thats not possible, its possible to freeze small animals and they would be alive after unfreezing and all the stuff, but humans are too big and cant freeze instantly and would die.
I'm not positive on the specifics of Piranha guns, and freeze rays, but in the US it is legal to make homemade firearms. Only time they need to be registered is in the process of selling/transferring ownership. Further, it's not a requirement to store weapons safely unless you have children in the house, as that is a case for child endangerment.
@@no1uno388 It's not the freezing part that's problematic. Anything above a hamster is too big to be able to unfreeze completely in time. British scientists in the 1950s actually did that, if you want to know more about the story search for a youtube video by Tom Scott, "An interesting story about Microwaves" or something like that. He interviewed the lead scientist from that experiment, who at the time of the interview was 102 years old.
4:05, on top of being attempted murder, also involves lots of weapons that are definitely illegal for Vector to own, same goes for Gru in his dogfight vs Vector. and 5:44, if we operate by real-world logic, is definitely 6 counts of 2nd-degree murder for Gru The hole in the wall at 9:31 upgrades this from trespassing to breaking and entering You could also upgrade Grand Larceny for stealing the moon WAY up. I don't actually know what the final verdict would be, but Gru didn't know the moon would return to full size, and losing the moon would be an apocalyptic event that would end civilization as we know it (assuming the real world not cartoon logic anyway). Assuming Gru is too dumb to know this he just acquired 7 billion counts of reckless endangerment or something I'm not a lawyer.
Not to mention the ffa laws and the consequences of not getting permission to fly a rocket into space, launching a rocket out of his house probably thousands of osha violations from the lab he's running under his house plus the amount of code violations that are probably involved in the building of the lab plus he probably didn't get any permits
Honestly I think if one were to steal the moon, it wouldn't just count as Larceny, it'd be on par with (regardless of if he knew the consequences or not) genocide/omnicide, which would certainly be a death penalty (or at the very least, life in prison), alongside a lot of other crimes.
I just wanna say that the voiceover in this episode is perfect, very concise and helps me understand the reasoning behind a lot of these (which I sometimes didn't in some of the non-voiceover ones)
The amount of crimes you commit doesn’t decide how much punishment you get. It goes off the severity of the crime. I could commit 10 crimes that were all little misdemeanors and get less time than a person who committed only one crime of murder
For the missiles part at 4:52 I guess you could say that was gross negligence due to the missiles being “heat seeking” and being fired. It’s not just that it is the distance they traveled before the target was locked maybe even 12 miles away.
I guess it has to do with the fact that O'Hare's monopoly puts many people's lives in high risk of death from suffocation if they don't purchase air from him, whereas grand larceny of a displayable object doesn't directly endanger anyone.
7:55 I think you should’ve a,so added breaking and entering, as well as trespassing (Idk if trespassing overrides breaking and entering bcz they the same thing kinda)
Yeah...there's NO WAY that thing is EPA compliant with the amount of smoke it gives off. Add in a violation of the Clean Air Act of 1970 to Gru's rap sheet
The freeze ray is a lethal weapon because there currently isn't anyway to thaw someone from solid ice, the frost bite damage would be too high. Victor was attempted murder but he has access to movie science
In the movies' universe, everything frozen by the ray thaws fully safely while suffering no damage. So it would be considered battery, involuntary restraint and immobilization
Hopefully this series is still going strong till next year when the Super Mario Bros. movie comes out since Bowser would be considered an Illumination villain lol
Two things I’m curious about: Is gru’s car even street legal? And would impersonation of a medical professional be a separate crime or just be a part of the fraud charge?
Impersonation of a medical professional is definitely illegal in Britain, but idk about the US It's thanks to this law that every doctor who hosts a TV show as a doctor in the UK is genuine, so yes all three of you who watch Operation Ouch, Chris and Xand are real twin doctors
6:32-6:50 Because the minions are indestructible, normal workspace health regulations do not aply to them. It is shown countless times in the show that no minion is actually suffering any type of body harm, thus putting the incident count of his gactory in 0 and giving him green light for buisness.
Since complete freezing of the human body rapidly destroys tissue, cells, and blood vessels, it's safe to assume Gru could be convicted of multiple murders
8:05 You did forget one thing on Gru’s account. Apparently if this was over Chico in California, a fine of $500 would be issued for detonating a nuclear weapon. Yes it says some weapons are nuclear by the symbols.
@@vaguelyhumanoid7419 this is actually not unrealistic, in germany it is very similar. The legal system differentiates between detonating an explosive device (of whatever nature) and killing people with it. Killing people by means that pose danger to public safety (like a bomb) is by definition murder (life sentence, 25 years in Germany), the detonation itself is without any punishment or by fine and up to 3 years prison (depending on the situation and possibility of harm). Detonating the nuke fulfills the same principles here although you will very unlikely not kill anyone with it and therefore very unlikely not fulfill the murder charge.
A lot of the traps Vector uses are likely illegal, many areas have laws on the books that you can't trap your property. If Emergency responders had to show up, or a random person happened across one of them, they've be horrifically injured.
Ohare is actually confirmed to be a Zillionare ($1,000,000,000,000,000) from a line in the opening song. So his fine would be $2,000,000,000,000,000 assuming he made exactly one zillion. Love ur vids man, keep up the great work!

Gru actually wouldn't be fined or punished for stealing the moon. According to article 2 of the Space Treaty,
"Outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means.The development of international space law has revolved much around outer space being defined as the 'province of all mankind'.
This means that the moon is not owned by any person, enterprise, or government, and therefore Gru can not be charged for stealing it since it doesn't even belong to anybody
@@border_collie7991 I think he’s judging all the villains based on the real life American justice system
@@krypticunlimited6925 you have to remember that by taking the moon he endangers the whole humanity in many complex ways, so while stealing moon is not considered theft, it would be considered a crime against humanity or smth

Wouldn’t Gru lying about being a dentist also be impersonating a medical professional?
only if he attempts to perform medical services, i would guess
yes, if he were to use an existing professionals credentials as his own.
@@evilellis that would be "preforming medical services without a license" which is a different charge.
Don’t forget he communicates with criminals and uses illegally obtained money from the evil bank (that’s how I think they get their profit it’s that or their a legitimate bank)
They’re*
A few more things I noticed Gru did which are illegal:
- During the scene where he has the idea to abandon the girls, they're climbing all over him and clearly not wearing seatbelts. It's the responsibility of the driver (Gru) to ensure all passengers are wearing seatbelts so he would likely get more points off his license for that.
- During one of the sky chase sequences, there's a radiation symbol on some of the rockets, implying Gru may have access to nuclear weapons. A civilian having nuclear weaponry is obviously very illegal and likely a war crime.
I don't think stealing the Moon constitutes a crime. Who is he stealing it from? Nobody can lay claim to celestial bodies
I feel like Grand Larceny would be an understatement because of how massive of a theft stealing the Moon would be. But given how there isn’t a name for a crime like this I can understand that being the the crime you would give.
yeah, exactly my problem.
The fine is infinite though, soooo
Not to mention the possible world-wide chaos it would do to the world if the Moon lost it's gravitational force.
Could chalk it up to global terrorism since removing the moon would jeopardize the entire human race.
Grand Grand Larceny.
Side note for vector, he gets away with those traps only because they are manually activated. Otherwise they would be classified as boobytraps and considered illegal.
Except for the shark, which he did not get away with.

I think vector is guilty of two more cases of animal abuse, one for the squid launcher and one for keeping a shark in the sewers (or at least animal negligence for allowing it to get into the sewers). Also sharks are a protected species and therefore illegal to keep as pets.
If Bratt gets a charge for having missiles as part of his defenses, Vector would too.
You forgot SDM at 9:46
He did put the wall back though, so I feel like a trespassing charge is fair. Also, he was just annoyed and blew of steam but wasn't trying to actually kill Vector. The other additional offences are fair.
I Would add that shrinking the moon and stealing it would cause all sorts of destruction due to the sudden gravitational shift of Earth, leading to the death of millions of people.
This would warrant a death penalty for Planetary Terrorism
I love how he mentioned Reckless Driving, as if he didn’t just commit Manslaughter while sending an old man tumbling down a cliff 9:55

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.

The thing is OSHA doesn't cover self-employment which is kinda what the minions are doing (choosing to just work for him) or other organizations/federations which you could argue the minions run their own organization and aren't bound by any nation. At most I would consider the minions as pets/animals despite their intelligence they aren't considered humans.
A couple days late, but something else worth mentioning are weapon laws. Not only is possession of a deadly weapon a crime in certain places (e.g. Gru bringing the fireball gun to the fair) but if we assume Despicable Me is set in America, weapon manufacturers require a licence, something no villains would have. This means that you can add the illegal manufacture of deadly weaponry to the list of crimes.
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. Gru is unpredictable, and he could get the necessary licenses. I mean, he attacks a line of people to get coffee, but then tips, he's not exactly a stable man.

No, from what I recall, traps are fine provided you are on the property in question, at least according to the Iowa Supreme Court. So you can't have traps if you are not home, but since Vector was in the building the legal precedent is that it's fine.

Only time they need to be registered is in the process of selling/transferring ownership.
Further, it's not a requirement to store weapons safely unless you have children in the house, as that is a case for child endangerment.
@@no1uno388 It's not the freezing part that's problematic. Anything above a hamster is too big to be able to unfreeze completely in time. British scientists in the 1950s actually did that, if you want to know more about the story search for a youtube video by Tom Scott, "An interesting story about Microwaves" or something like that. He interviewed the lead scientist from that experiment, who at the time of the interview was 102 years old.
4:05, on top of being attempted murder, also involves lots of weapons that are definitely illegal for Vector to own, same goes for Gru in his dogfight vs Vector.
and 5:44, if we operate by real-world logic, is definitely 6 counts of 2nd-degree murder for Gru
The hole in the wall at 9:31 upgrades this from trespassing to breaking and entering
You could also upgrade Grand Larceny for stealing the moon WAY up. I don't actually know what the final verdict would be, but Gru didn't know the moon would return to full size, and losing the moon would be an apocalyptic event that would end civilization as we know it (assuming the real world not cartoon logic anyway). Assuming Gru is too dumb to know this he just acquired 7 billion counts of reckless endangerment or something I'm not a lawyer.
Not to mention the ffa laws and the consequences of not getting permission to fly a rocket into space, launching a rocket out of his house probably thousands of osha violations from the lab he's running under his house plus the amount of code violations that are probably involved in the building of the lab plus he probably didn't get any permits
I mean, you can clearly see some of the missiles Gru has in his plane are nuclear, so... Illegal Weapon Property?
Looks like he better call Saul
Technically Gru can't be charged for breaking in Vectors wall with those missles, since Vector fired them.
Honestly I think if one were to steal the moon, it wouldn't just count as Larceny, it'd be on par with (regardless of if he knew the consequences or not) genocide/omnicide, which would certainly be a death penalty (or at the very least, life in prison), alongside a lot of other crimes.
I just wanna say that the voiceover in this episode is perfect, very concise and helps me understand the reasoning behind a lot of these (which I sometimes didn't in some of the non-voiceover ones)

Gotta love how Gru committed more crimes but gets less punishment than Vector
He had to pay $infitite😂
@@Bruhnerd69 i think gru's banned from earning money then.
@@bluehat98 According with laws and sentences, he's still entitled with earning the minimum wage.
The amount of crimes you commit doesn’t decide how much punishment you get. It goes off the severity of the crime. I could commit 10 crimes that were all little misdemeanors and get less time than a person who committed only one crime of murder
I’m all likelihood he will get no punishment due to joining the AVL, probably getting him pardoned
Keep in mind that that was only Despicable Me 1 meaning Gru still has a lot of crimes to be judged for
Gru should consider himself lucky that he cleaned up his act when he did
No, because he joined the government, which would clearly give him immunity considering his very public acts of criminality.
@@LeakyTrees Yeah he probably was pardoned and his record erased when he was employed by them
Gru literally commits mutilation over 1,000 times in Despicable Me 2
I just love how Gru went from being the most horrible parent to dressing up as a fairy god mother for his child’s birthday party.

For the missiles part at 4:52 I guess you could say that was gross negligence due to the missiles being “heat seeking” and being fired. It’s not just that it is the distance they traveled before the target was locked maybe even 12 miles away.
How does Vector get less of a fine for stealing a millennia old monument than O’Hare gets for running a 30 year old monopoly!
Because stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from people is a lot worse of a crime than stealing a building no one is actively using nor owns
I guess it has to do with the fact that O'Hare's monopoly puts many people's lives in high risk of death from suffocation if they don't purchase air from him, whereas grand larceny of a displayable object doesn't directly endanger anyone.
@@PaulStompbox Not having a moon will cause harm.
@@bakedbeans5494 he talk about the stealing of the piramid since it's about vector's crime vs O'Hares's one
@@bakedbeans5494 are you okay? There is no law to compare stealing the moon too, stealing a pyramid is what grand larceny is for, not the damn moon
I love how the only problem with Gru's car is that it's not registered
Agreed
This once and for all proves that gru is the superior life form.
7:55 I think you should’ve a,so added breaking and entering, as well as trespassing
(Idk if trespassing overrides breaking and entering bcz they the same thing kinda)
I love Gru's sentence ends with "points off license"! Arson, Murder and Jaywalking taken up to infinity!
Man it’s so nice hearing you explain the crimes that people would probably would be skeptical or unsure of at first
6:09 I love how the only crime this guy could find on this monstrosity is "driving an unregistered vehicle"
Yeah...there's NO WAY that thing is EPA compliant with the amount of smoke it gives off. Add in a violation of the Clean Air Act of 1970 to Gru's rap sheet
There’s no way that Gru’s car is street legal.

@@masonsykes2240 this is supposedly taking place in 1969 IIRC

Ohare’s photo being lower on the mugshot was a great touch 😂
The freeze ray is a lethal weapon because there currently isn't anyway to thaw someone from solid ice, the frost bite damage would be too high. Victor was attempted murder but he has access to movie science
In universe, freezing in ice doesn't seem to be a problem. But neither do missiles, so either it's all attempted murder or none of it is.
In the movies' universe, everything frozen by the ray thaws fully safely while suffering no damage. So it would be considered battery, involuntary restraint and immobilization
Hopefully this series is still going strong till next year when the Super Mario Bros. movie comes out since Bowser would be considered an Illumination villain lol

@@TheCommentingCat wouldn’t that just be larceny??
Two things I’m curious about:
Is gru’s car even street legal?
And would impersonation of a medical professional be a separate crime or just be a part of the fraud charge?
No, and probably not, those sorts of things only seem to apply for federal and state professions.
Impersonation of a medical professional is definitely illegal in Britain, but idk about the US
It's thanks to this law that every doctor who hosts a TV show as a doctor in the UK is genuine, so yes all three of you who watch Operation Ouch, Chris and Xand are real twin doctors

6:32-6:50 Because the minions are indestructible, normal workspace health regulations do not aply to them. It is shown countless times in the show that no minion is actually suffering any type of body harm, thus putting the incident count of his gactory in 0 and giving him green light for buisness.
Source? Is there a clause in the OSHA regulations that says indestructible beings are exempt?
Good point
at the same time, it does show risk to the humans in the lab, such as dr nefario and occasionally the girls
@@derickshu6098That's right.
I can’t get over the “points off license” for Gru
Since complete freezing of the human body rapidly destroys tissue, cells, and blood vessels, it's safe to assume Gru could be convicted of multiple murders
8:05
You did forget one thing on Gru’s account. Apparently if this was over Chico in California, a fine of $500 would be issued for detonating a nuclear weapon. Yes it says some weapons are nuclear by the symbols.
1: why is there a fine for detonating nuclear weaponry?
2: only $500? Its a NUKE and its only $500?
@@vaguelyhumanoid7419 Ask someone who lives on the western seaboard, I’m on the east.
@@vaguelyhumanoid7419 this is actually not unrealistic, in germany it is very similar. The legal system differentiates between detonating an explosive device (of whatever nature) and killing people with it. Killing people by means that pose danger to public safety (like a bomb) is by definition murder (life sentence, 25 years in Germany), the detonation itself is without any punishment or by fine and up to 3 years prison (depending on the situation and possibility of harm). Detonating the nuke fulfills the same principles here although you will very unlikely not kill anyone with it and therefore very unlikely not fulfill the murder charge.
6:55
I love how only one of these constitutes Grand Larceny. It just makes this scene so much funnier.
You know this guy's a legend when "G R A N D L A R C E N Y" appears on screen
A lot of the traps Vector uses are likely illegal, many areas have laws on the books that you can't trap your property. If Emergency responders had to show up, or a random person happened across one of them, they've be horrifically injured.
Said traps are manually activated to begin with, so that risk is not much of a factor, barring the shark
Ohare said in the beginning song that he became a Bazillionaire so I’d say charge him like 2 Bazillion.
7:29 I would argue...that was INTENTIONAL.
What are you talking about, it was clearly an accident.
Agrgur
Ohare is actually confirmed to be a Zillionare ($1,000,000,000,000,000) from a line in the opening song. So his fine would be $2,000,000,000,000,000 assuming he made exactly one zillion.
Love ur vids man, keep up the great work!
Isn't that like 1 quadrillion
nope, 2 zillion@@TheFluxChampion
still nothing on Gru's debt of $∞
if he didnt pay taxes he would be hammered by the IRS, possibly 20 to 40 years
2 septillion
With Vector, you forgot about all the military grade weaponry that's not only illegal to own, but was either stolen or bought on the black market.
Or he made them
