I feel like Amity Park’s law enforcement has to deal with just. SO much bullshit. Like, you have your normal crimes, obviously, but then you also have GHOST crimes. What do you do about ghost crimes? You can’t arrest a ghost. Well, you could try, but that would probably End Bad. So they could just leave things up to Danny Phantom all the time, BUT! What about human crimes that PRETEND to be ghost crimes? Like that one time a cop suggested stealing jewelry and blaming Danny? They’d have to investigate that shit. A bunch of electronics go missing? Maybe it was that weird geek ghost who stole them all to build a giant robot again, or MAYBE that asshole STEVE decided to take shit and pretend the undead did it. They’d need to invest in tech that could detect these supernatural crimes and separate them from the human ones, or in the abscence of that, at least have a special team for investigating Ghost Crimes. Imagine that being your job.
“Yeah hi I’m Donna and I’m a ghost cop. Last week I was investigating a robbery where the perps swear they were possessed. We told them to pee in a cup. It was pure security theater. We don’t even know if possession shows up in urine and now we have dozens of cups of criminal pee that we can’t figure out how to test. We are hanging on by a thread above a pit of total anarchy the second Amity Park realizes they can blame literally anything on ghosts. I haven’t slept in three days.”
