      There’s a whole song about property law, which maybe we shouldn’t have.

    I remember him being chained up in the dungeon… But I can’t remember if that was the first movie, one of the other movies, the TV show or even the video game. 🤔

      It’s the movie, but for kidnapping the princess.

      At the beginning of the movie, it is established that only “A diamond in the rough” can enter the Cave of Wonders to claim Genie’s lamp. Jafar does some magic spell to learn the identity of the “diamond in the rough” and it turns out it’s the poor street kid Aladdin, who has repeated run-ins with the guards over stealing food. Jafar sends the guards out to capture and bring Aladdin to Jafar so he can be sent into the Cave of Wonders.

      Meanwhile, after rejecting the latest of many pompous asshole princes, Princess Jasmine decides to run away from the palace equipped with a cloak over her usual outfit and basically nothing else, to include an understanding of money. She steals an apple to give to a couple of poor children, and the apple vendor is swinging the sword down to cut off her hand when Aladdin stops him, convinces him that she’s insane, and then brings her to his home. The guards catch up to them and finally capture him. “Unhand him, by order of the princess!” The guards are surprised to find her here. “What are you doing outside the palace? And with this street rat?” Later, when asked what charge Aladdin was arrested on, Jafar replies “Kidnapping the princess, of course.”

      So while Aladdin is in the habit of tangling with Agrabah’s law enforcement, he is never arrested on the charge of assaulting an officer. Or vagrancy or petty theft. He’s arrested because Jafar wanted him arrested, and the kidnapping charge (for which he is, at this point at least, completely innocent) is trumped up after the fact.

    he did get arrested but on a false charge of kidnapping the princess, so I guess technically no.

  He’s just a petty thief tho

    Stealing food when you’re hungry (especially if you share it with other hungry people) is morally right though. Fucking with the cops about it is pretty punk

    A street rat? I don’t buy that. If only you’d look closer.

    If you think you saw someone stealing food no you fucking didn’t
