	== Examples ==		== Examples ==
			*[[December 10th Incident]] - Daniel assaulted Bob, but despite this, he never actually faced any repercussions and would eventually go on to travel America.
			*[[Olive Garden Incident]] - Despite pulling a false fire alarm at an establishment, he was only given a trespass notice by the police. The same thing would occur the following day at an IHOP.
			*[[Panera Bread Incident]] - Daniel had a massive meltdown at a Panera Bread restaurant, giving death threats to the employees and patrons and self-harming himself till he bled. Despite this, he was not arrested, though according to Daniel, he was allegedly banned from the establishment.
			*[[Pedophilia]] - Daniel has admitted several times to being a pedophile, and has even admitted to doing things like saving pictures of nude children and saying sexually explicit things to minors (real or otherwise). He has never been charged for any of this.
			*[[Breanna]] - Daniel has stated he allegedly masturbated in front of Breanna, who was a child at the time, and a video exists where he pushes her down on a bed (though whether or not he had any awful intentions, or was merely just play-fighting with her, is unknown). Nothing law-wise has come out of this, though Daniel once mentioned an alleged legal investigation regarding the Breanna situation.
			*[[October 16th Incident]] - Daniel was kicked out of housing due to him having a breakdown and damaging Miss P's house, resulting in him becoming homeless. He was issued an $1,000 citation and trespassed from the property, but was otherwise let out onto the streets without further repercussions.
			*[[Folsom Field Arrest]] - During the [[College Arc]] where he "enrolled" into the University of Colorado Boulder, Daniel was contacted by a troll masquerading as Buffaloes football coach Deion Sanders. The troll coaxed him into trespassing by claiming he would be at the football facility for some sort of speech, as well as antagonizing him by bringing up his racism and claiming [[Grace VanderWaal]] called him a "pussy". Daniel would then go to the facility while livestreaming, and was denied access; he reportedly then had a meltdown and struck a security guard, resulting him being arrested for third-degree assault. However, after spending two days in jail, he was then released.
