Data once lied to a commanding officer. Of course, said commanding officer ordered him to do it. And then again, there was that time he commandeered the Enterprise. There's probably other stuff too, actually, but they always forgive him for it. XD

Lore isn't a career criminal, but hey, murder happens. Amirite?

Rosalie breaks the law a lot, but it's not usually anything big-- carrying fake government documents, driving waaaay over the speed limit, that sort of thing. The only exception was when she went on a ramapage and killed all the guys who raped her and left her for dead. Uh... :D?

The most criminal thing Eiji's probably ever done is steal his sister's diary.

Well, Anna committed the angel version of murder one and high treason all rolled into one, and Fell. Yes, she'd do it again, and so far, she's been pleased with the result. So far. Stay tuned. (Not that she remembers any of this right now.)

As for Meg . . . um . . . well, she has a tendency to drive a little too fast?

And Verity, were she still around, would be here for a while, answering this one. All the trouble she made . . . how would she ever pick a favorite? (By her standards, though, the worst thing she ever did was whatever-it-was with Michael, here. Because that actually betrayed her beliefs, or had the potential to, or something. And "like" isn't the right word, somehow, but yeah, she'd do it again. If she weren't, you know, dead.)

Right now, Castiel is at the beginning of Season 4, so he's still all about following orders. He's still a ways away from turning into Oliver Cromwell.

Luna? Luna is inclined to follow the spirit of rules and laws, just not necessarily the letter. Especially if she thinks they don't make sense. (For example, she wanders into the Forbidden Forest quite a bit.) I rather think that this is a tendency that her father encourages.

Parker is my beer drinker and hell raiser. :) Moderately so, especially now. I think the height of it was high school. While she never got into serious trouble, she drank under age, snuck out of the house, maybe shoplifted a cheap pair of earrings when she was 14 and felt horribly guilty about it afterward.

Ahahahahahaha! Steph you need to do this too!

I don't know what you're talking about. None of mine do illegal things. :D :D :D

Kate Warner, law-abiding citizen extraordinaire, hired a private investigator to look into her sister's fiance's background. Turns out Reza was a stand-up guy, but if Kate hadn't done that, her sister's involvement with a terrorist cell would've never come to light, Kate would've never met Jack Bauer, and Los Angeles would've gone nuclear. Literally. So, yeah, horrible as the revelation was, she'd do it all over again.

Ben Wade: AHAHA.

And aghhhgh, would love to answer for my other two, but a staff meeting calls. There is not enough espresso in the world.

Vergil defected from the side to which it technically owed its allegiance during the Human-Covenant War, then proceeded to hack an Earth computer system capable of controlling a city's operations and the operations of a space elevator, download all of its data, and take over the system's functioning for several hours. At one point Vergil opened a set of locked doors specifically to allow an angry mob to chase down a man who had committed several murders and attempted a rape. It also turned over its data on the side to which it formerly owed its allegiance to the people to whom it defected, and given that the two sides were at war, that's kinda treason even if it was coming from a fugitive slave. That counts, right?

Gordon destroyed a lot of property and killed a bunch of United States Marines, which does not look good on anyone's record even in self-defense. If the Combine bothered to have laws I don't think Gordon left any unbroken, and as for troublemaking, he blew up their head of state. Among roughly a zillion other things. He also spent some time in one of the Marvel universes closely linked to the 1602 universe, fighting alongside Rojhaz (that timeline's Steve Rogers) and Sir Nicholas Fury against the regime that dumped ol' Steve in the past. Career criminal? Dude is Anticitizen One in two completely separate worlds.

Adrian's stolen a couple of helicopters and blown up a bunch of stuff. Combine helicopters and Combine stuff, but still. When he was younger he was real familiar to police forces around Preston County for his persistent, frequent, and nerve-wrackingly severe violations of the speed limit on mountain roads. Also he has a record of getting into fights in bars, but with a knack for running like hell before the sirens arrive. That pretty much stopped once he was in the Marine Corps.

Ellen? Model Vault citizen until the day her father left the Vault. At which point she beat several Vault security guards unconscious, stole the Overseer's gun, and illegally escaped the Vault. She's since robbed several museums and the National Archives of artifacts (granted, none of these were actually operational at the time), assisted in defrauding a visitor from the Commonwealth of an exceptionally valuable robotic prototype, destroyed a still-operational U.S. government military base, convinced the President to kill himself, wiped out an entire town, and violated the Third Geneva Convention, although it is my firm belief that the United States in her world repudiated Geneva a hundred and twenty years before her time. I don't think this is going to stop any time soon.

beat several Vault security guards unconscious, stole the Overseer's gun, and illegally escaped

This is totally why Chekov likes her.

This will require a bit of background.

Vale, the village where Felix was born, had one major purpose (unknown to most of its citizens): to guard the Elemental Stars, relics of incredible power. As part of this, access to the volcano where they rested was forbidden. (What exactly the punishment for this would ordinarily be is unknown; a quest was the result of the instance we see, but that's not a normal situation.)

Felix, believed dead three years previously, reappeared in disguise and accompanied three rather antagonistic foreigners into the volcano - into, indeed, the very room where the Stars lay. He willingly participated in the theft of three of the four Stars, with the intention of using them to restore an ancient, forbidden power.

Oh, and this involved setting off the volcano in an eruption that reportedly split the continent. But that wasn't part of the plan.

Oh, right, the other parts of the question.

He did it for two reasons: the safety of his parents and the salvation of the world. Depending which fan you ask, you may get a different balance of these motivations than I espouse, but those are the two reasons. Basically, two of these foreigners had kidnapped Felix and his parents and told him that they would be released if he helped them. As for the world, there is a canonical metaphor that compares the world, deprived of that "ancient forbidden power", to a bear that doesn't wake up because winter doesn't end, and so it starves to death.

Would he do it again, were the situation to repeat itself? Absolutely. While he may have initially gotten into this to help his family, he's now completely devoted to the well-being of his world.

However, I wouldn't say that he liked it. It was a thing that needed to happen, for the greater good, but it could have gone better.

X was a killer for hire! She is unlikely to turn to that occupation again. She has nothing against a spot of expedient murder. Or theft. Or espionage. Or -- you get the picture.

Raven thinks laws are for other people. He breaks them a lot. And he's crazy.

Dean has fake IDs out the wazoo, and he and his family are generally big on fraud, because none of them hold down regular jobs. The money's got to come from somewhere.

Michael had human agents in a time when she was not supposed to! She also hung out on Earth mingling with people when she kind of wasn't supposed to! And she was . . . .. civilly acquainted with a demon. And some pagan spirits. So. Yes.

I will think about the others later!

Gibbs is a pirate. Probably the most audacious thing he's done is steal any number of ships under the auspices of Capt. Jack Sparrow. Gibbs did it because he's a pirate. And will likely do it again.

Kirk's most audacious, illegal act was also stealing a ship. His own. For which he was court martialed. But he has no regrets, having done it to honor Sarek's request to bring home Spock's body. He would do it again if need be, but hopes not to.

Cy is a very law abiding citizen. He doesn't even do illegal downloads (though if Beast Boy got that new film, Cy doesn't ask where it came from).

Knox...I'm sure he's done a few acts of civil disobedience in the name of a good story, but otherwise the most he's done is illegal parking and some fudging of his income taxes. To be a law abiding citizen in Gotham is, in some ways, an act of defiance.

Charlie is a masked vigilante. By the laws and standards of the real world, he's a criminal. By the laws and standards of his, he's just a costumed hero. Even so, most non-powered heroes engage in B&E, street fighting, and other misdeeds. In addition, I think Charlie has done a lot of hacking in the name of the greater good.

BTW, never mind Neal's hair. It's Mozzie's I'm most concerned with, given that cliffhanger. Though a) White Collar isn't the kind of show to kill cast members that readily; a b) the posters for the show in the subways feature Mozzie.

Well there was that one time when Huntress killed a guy...

And that time she tried to kill Prometheus.

That time when she asked her Uncle to murder her father for the death of her mother (although we haven't reached that bit in canon yet.)

In lesser crimes include assault. Lots of assault actually. She cut of that one guys tongue.

Breaking and entering and all those other little laws she breaks in process of being a masked crime fighter.

...

For one of the good guys, Helena sure does break a lot of laws.

Will is an outlaw and I'm not sure of the worst thing he's ever done, since all he does is to help Nottingham. Though he does take great pleasure in making fools out of the Sheriff's men.

Moist should meet Neal, they'd get along so well. Moist is a career criminal because he likes the rush of it and he can get away with it. Its a lot more interesting than whatever he might be doing back in Uberwald.

Jane is doing her best to flaunt how things should be done, but politely.

Demeter is a goddess so different rules apply and she tries to be respectful of people's morals, but sometimes she just feels that you need to live.

William has no desire to mess with the law, so I think the worst thing he's done was let those cows loose in Contention.

Sameth is also rather law abiding due to being a prince and he tends to cause trouble by wanting to know how things work. He and Nick Sayre were always investigating things at school including things they weren't allowed to be.

The worst thing Tumnus has ever done was defy the White Witch.

The Pirate King revels in chaos and tight pants.

Ben stole a gold star of David from a pawn shop in his misspent youth.

Jessica technically is breaking a federal law by not turning herself in to Norman Osborn and registering as prescribed by the Super Human Registration Act.

Val might have stolen a pack of gum for the thrill but returned to turn herself in as the guilt was too much.

Jenks breaks into places all the time both for work and pleasure. He doesn't get this whole private property thing Lurkers believe in...unless it's his territory that is.

Thalia has stolen food before but only when desperate.

Ace's misadventures can be split into pre-Doctor and post-Doctor. In Perivale, her worst crime was probably torching that manor (it was evil. it totally deserved it), but after... if she wasn't her, there'd probably be a jail cell waiting somewhere. ... There probably is anyway, she just has too many ways of getting out of it. Besides, it's all for a good cause. :D

Shaz is glowering like a glowering thing and won't tell me. *pokes her*

Romana has no idea what you're talking about, the Mona Lisa was stolen and replaced with a fake long before she got there.

Katya has never once betrayed the Light. She has, however, brutally murdered, bribed, over-ridden the free will of normal humans, disobeyed every traffic law in the book, erased memories, etc, etc. Light =/= good, necessarily.

Glorfindel is a warrior, so if you count crimes against wargs/orcs/Nazgul/balrogs/etc as crimes, then he's a master criminal. If not... well. Who do you think taught the Peredhil twins how to be pranksters? Mmmm?

Laranth is a jedi, and pretty much by default 'model citizen' prior to the Emperor taking over. Afterwards... her whole existence is illegal, so. :D Those stormtroopers really need to stop coming after her. It doesn't go well for them, and eventually the obituary page is going to run out of room.

Hatter is fairly benign, as things go... unless you count leading (somewhat unsuccessfully until a certain person arrived) the resistance movement against the Red Queen. That was a big one. And if he has a sword and a Scottish accent it might be better to be elsewhere. The Futterwacken wasn't the only thing he was best at.

Bones... well, drugging your senior officers against their will probably isn't terribly legal, but sometimes it does have to be done.

Urahara... look, this comment box isn't big enough to list all the things Urahara does. Legality is such a vague term, after all. Besides, he has no idea what you're talking about, he's just a simple shop owner. ♥!

Carl's gotten up to a lot of stuff that's covered by his job, even if the situation in canon wasn't exactly what he and the guys thought it would be at first. The worst thing he's gotten up to on his own was hacking his high school's computer system to change his grades, since he didn't realise how half-assed work in the classes he didn't care about would affect his chances of getting into college. Considering it led him to the best job in the universe (he thinks), hell YES he'd do it again.

Larry doesn't really have anything that qualifies, I think, unless you count sneaking into the Smithsonian after hours in the second movie.

Cosmo, it's implied by canon, works for some sort of organised crime because they busted him out of jail early. As for the hacking of various high-level bank accounts and... distribution of funds that got him in jail in the first place... it's hard to say whether he'd do that again, really. (I think he would, though. He saw it as a way to make a difference in the world.)

Moist has various heists and aiding-and-abetting-in-mad-science under his belt. It's all part of being a henchman, and it was worth it to have a job where people went o_O at the constant sweating a lot less often. I don't know if he would've gotten into it if not for the sweating problem, but he's not backing out on Doc now.

Perhaps in another world, Conflict Diamond could call herself a hero. Yes, she robs jewelry stores, but only the ones that are still being supplied through dubious means, and only because said dubious means kidnapped her little brother before her family moved to the US. As things are, she can't stand the heroing set, and there's a lot of people who can't look past that pesky robbery thing. And you bet your ass she'd do it again.

Cata and Sam... ahahaha. It'd be a more difficult question to tell you the nicest thing they've ever done; they're both career assassins and proud of it. By Guild standards, Sam could possibly get in trouble for his occasional non-contract kills, but every single one of those is stopping an attempted rape or rape-in-progress, so I don't think anyone's ever raised the issue. (Sam was also an international fugitive for a while there, when he was trying to kill Mizzamir's ass and... well, okay, saving the world was more of a side effect.) Both of them prefer Guild life to the alternative, especially Cata, who has a hard time picturing an alternative that isn't being whitewashed.

Claudia hacked into a top-secret facility and kidnapped a Secret Service agent working there! She did it because the Secret Service agent in question knew how to bust her brother out of limbo. (Or, well, had a far easier time figuring out why Claudia's approach wasn't working than she would have on her own.) She'd do it again for several reasons. One, Joshua's no longer stuck in an interdimensional space; two, it got her the best job in the universe (I don't know why this is a recurring thing with my characters); three, if she'd kept flying solo for much longer, she would've killed herself trying to bust Joshua out. And while she saw that as a reasonable sacrifice to make at the time, she kinda likes this whole being-alive thing.

I have two Career Criminals!

Mel became a thief due to poverty - she had run away from her sister, was living on the street, and pretty much had nothing else to do. She became a thief, and kept it up because she's really rutting good at it. Plus it's fun: she gets a kick out of the exhileration, and doesn't think that by burgling wealthy establishments, she's actually harming anyone.

Floyd Lawton is a contract killer! After killing his brother (accident), he started killing people in a twisted attempt at being a masked vigilante, but the temptation to rip off his victims became too strong and he ended up running a protection racket.
Then his killing was authorised by the US Government, so he wasn't a criminal then. Except when he killed people he wasn't ordered to, I guess.
Then he quit government work to be a private contractor, so I guess that's illegal.
Now he works for the government again! Woo!
Why does he do it? Because a) he's good at it, and b) he really likes shooting things.

Do you want a list by serverity, or by season? :D

Possibly that is the best answer, ever.

It's true. I do have delightfully buoyant hair.

NEAL <3333

*glee*

Mike and Raph are law abiding citizens!
So long as you ignore the killing and vigilantism.
There might have been some hot-wiring of cars at one point and time in their past. And the theft of telephone and cable....well that was all Donnie.

There was this one time though, where they shipped themselves to Egypt, which I'm pretty sure is against some sort of postal code or another.

Started a war that almost destroyed the world. Of course she enjoyed it! In fact, she is preparing to start another one. WEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

The most illegal thing Lucas is gonna do is his continuous infiltration in the Pigmask Army, which is not something he enjoys but rather a necessity to get to the bottom of just what they're doing to Tazmily. Also, they started it.

The most illegal thing Mia has ever done is disobey her mother. Which doesn't sound like much until you realize her mother was the Guildmaster of Vane at the time and sentenced her to death for her intrusion. (Except it wasn't really her mother but a woman using a spell to look like her mother and usurping her mother's position.) Mia was scared to do it but is glad she did in the end and would do it again.
