It has been noted that the characters in the Breeniverse, particularly Daniel, have a somewhat callous disregard for the law. Committing crimes is not necessarily wise, but posting them on the internet smacks of sheer stupidity. Not only do we have canon crime within the Breeniverse but we also have fan crime.

For the purposes of this table, it is assumed that the entire series takes place in California, although this is never explicitly stated.

• Burglary — In the video Following The Helper, Daniel breaks into Lucy's apartment. Burglary is usually considered a felony, even though Daniel stole nothing from Lucy's apartment. In the video Ransacked! whoever ransacks Bree's room, presumably the Order of Denderah, also commits burglary. Daniel commits burglary once again when he enters Bree's house in the video Back At Bree's. In On The Road Again, Jonas breaks into his Aunt Alex's house.

• Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor

• Curfew violations — Bree was sentenced to house arrest after her parents discovered she had snuck out to go to a party.

• Driving without a license — In Learning To Drive Daniel takes Bree out driving in his car, even though she has never driven before and presumably has no license or learners permit. Driving without a license is a misdemeanor in California, and may be punished with probation, time in jail and $1,000 in fines. The car may be impounded.

• Grand larceny — In the video Breaking And Entering, Daniel not only commits burglary by breaking into the warehouse, but he also removes a box of EPOGEN. Since EPOGEN is a fairly expensive drug, an entire box could be worth a large amount of money.

• Grand theft auto — In Bree's Gone, Jonas reveals that Bree has stolen his car.

• Hoboing — When Daniel hitches a ride on a freight train before the video Back Home he has committed the trademark offense of the hobo. Hoboing is a form of trespassing.

• Homicide — In The Unthinkable Happened members of the Order apparently shoot Bree's dad. In Gemma (Part V), Brother appears to assassinate Gemma. Interestingly, it may be Brother who commits the worse crime. Since his dislike of Gemma is motivated by her religious affiliation; the murder may also be a hate crime.

• Identity document forgery — In Hungover, Daniel reveals that he was in possession of a forged identity document which he used to illegally consume alcohol.

• Kidnapping — In Psychological Torture (a "private" video) The Order kidnaps and presumably drugs Bree, Jonas, and Daniel. Later, in It's Not Kidnapping, BDJ kidnaps Jules in Texas.

• Stalking — In Who Is This?, Where Are They Going? and The Ceremony, Daniel pursues and videotapes Bree and Lucy even after Bree asks him to stop. However, since Daniel never threatened harm, it's likely that Bree could only request a restraining order.

• Trespassing — In Lying Bastards, Daniel sneaks onto Alex's property and videotapes her talking on the phone.

• Underage drinking — (see: drunk) In Truth Or Dare, Daniel consumes alcohol even though he is under the age of 21. Both Daniel and Jonas drink at the party in Uncle Dan. In Vegas, Baby!, the pair appear intoxicated together for the first time. Finally, Spring Break Sucks features the pair intoxicated together again but it could be argued that since they are in Mexico, they arn't really breaking the law.

• Wire tapping
