Watching a few thousand hours of a show makes one wonder about certain plot points that are never addressed.
1- How can they afford to do this?
They travel all over the world, hauling their van with them, yet none appear to have any source of income. In fact, the few times they are faced with great wealth, they give it away! Who funds these adventures? Shaggy alone appears to eat the equivilent of a months groceries for a small restaurant. Even adjusted for 60's prices that's still a small fortune.
2- Who authorized them to do this?
What police force has world wide authority? None. Yet The Scooby Gang solves mysteries and crimes all over the world, and almost always gets an attaboy from local law enforcement. I highly doubt my local police would welcome a group of amateurs getting involved in things.
3- Why haven't they been sued or arrested?
Lets see, Fred makes a trap, bad guy gets bounced around a bit, tangled in a barrel, and held against his will until the cops arrive. Isn't that assault? Kidnapping? Unlawful Imprisonment?
4- Breaking and Entering? Trespassing? Theft? Destruction of Property?
Each episode shows the gang wandering around a castle, house, building, town etc. They enter buildings at will, often going through unlocked upper floor windows, picking locks, or just breaking down a door. Rarely are they invited in. Most episodes show Shaggy and Scooby finding a cache of food and wolfing it down with abandon. Most episodes also show doors, furniture, armour, paintings, vases, and more being broken as a result of the gangs exploration. Yet you never see them hauled out and punished for all this "mystery solving".
Scooby Doo is Evil.
Just say "Rooooo!"
