[[AC:''Franchise/MarvelUniverse'']]
* In ''[[Fanfic/UltimateSpiderWoman Ultimate Spider-Woman: Change With The Light]]'', there's not much [[Characters/MarvelComicsMaryJaneWatson Mary Jane Watson]] can do about [[DirtyOldMan Roderick Kingsley]] sexually harassing her and trying to ruin her modeling career for rejecting his advances. Mary Jane doesn't need to, since Roderick's WomanScorned wife Rebecca rats him out to the authorities about all his illegal activities in exchange for an immunity deal, and then sues him for control of his cosmetics company. The last anyone sees of Roderick is his getting arrested by SEC agents, and it's implied that he'll be both broke and behind bars for a very long time.

* In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/chapters/81157510 Tax Evasion]]'' Gabriel is exposed as [[BigBad Hawk Moth]] and charged for "conspiracy, aiding and abetting, attempted theft, assault, terrorism, and felony murder", but his lawyers manage to create reasonable doubt and he's declared innocent... But the prosecutors realize that the money for everything they found in his lair had to come from ''somewhere'' and there was no way he had paid taxes on it, and get the now adult Max (computer genius) and Lila ([[EvilLawyerJoke bloodthirsty paralegal]] after [[ConsummateLiar she toned down her lies]]) to find the paper trail. He's eventually convicted for embezzlement, perjury, and tax evasion.

[[AC:{{Crossover}}s]]
* ''Fanfic/FairyWithoutWings'':
** Jiemma abused the members of his guild, but faced no consequences for his actions... until he attacked Suzaku, which got him arrested for assaulting an officer of the council.
** Suzaku repeatedly attempts to nail VV through this, to no avail, convincing Lelouch that MurderIsTheBestSolution for dealing with him.

[[AC:''Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers'']]
* ''Fanfic/SoldToTheHighestBidder'': Kirkland's piracy is ignored by the Council, as they see it as stimulating the economy. However, they ''are'' willing to arrest him for murder.

[[AC:''Franchise/{{Persona}}'']]
* In the ''Fanfic/ForewarnedIsForearmed'', Akira realizes Ichiro Hoshino has been beating his daughter, but the cops don't have enough evidence to arrest him for that because the daughter is too scared to talk. Akira ends up goading Hoshino into assaulting ''him'' in full view of a cop, resulting in Hoshino getting arrested for assaulting a minor, something that will likely result in him losing custody of his daughter.

[[AC:''Franchise/ASongOfIceAndFire'']]
* In ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11973805/1/The-Dance-is-not-over The Dance is Not Over]]'', by Creator/Antony444, a MorallyBankruptBanker involved in an unsuccessful (and needlessly bloody) coup against House Lannister is careful to use ExactWords in the letters with his coconspirators that give him PlausibleDeniability. Lady Lannister admits that there's no hard evidence of his treason, but there ''is'' evidence that he's only paid a tenth of the taxes he owes her due to hiding money that was being funneled to the rebels. Tax evasion is a very serious offense in a feudal fantasy setting.
-->'''Johanna Lannister''': The crime is smaller, but I'm told the sentence at the end of the trial is oddly similar.

[[AC:''Franchise/SpiderMan'']]
* In ''[[Fanfic/UltimateSpiderWoman Ultimate Spider-Woman: Change With The Light]]'', there's not much [[Characters/MarvelComicsMaryJaneWatson Mary Jane Watson]] can do about [[DirtyOldMan Roderick Kingsley]] sexually harassing her and trying to ruin her modeling career for rejecting his advances. Mary Jane doesn't need to, since Roderick's WomanScorned wife Rebecca rats him out to the authorities about all his illegal activities in exchange for an immunity deal, and then sues him for control of his cosmetics company. The last anyone sees of Roderick is his getting arrested by SEC agents, and it's implied that he'll be both broke and behind bars for a very long time.

[[AC:''Franchise/StarWars'']]
* ''Fanfic/PalpatineIsTheWorst'': In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/chapters/63313060 Palpatine Is Arrested for Fashion Crime]]'' the Jedi find evidence that Palpatine is a Sith and the mastermind behind the Clone Wars, but realize they can't prove anything but that he follows a different religion, so they turn to Padme for help... And she nails him with a Naboo law that boils down to forbidding him from ''wearing the same clothing more than once'' in a way not covered by the exceptions to said law, allowing his temporary removal for power while he serves the sentence. [[spoiler:The whole thing is actually an attempt to get him to snap and nail him for the much direr charges of assault and attempted murder, something a comment from Jar Jar Binks right after he's arrested succeeds at.]]
