Lois and Clark Do 100 Crimes Challenge
1) The Pilot: Lois and Jimmy (and then Clark) Trespassed into a secure area of EPRAD to take a look at the Messenger wreckage.
2) The Pilot: Lois and Jimmy broke and entered the Messenger Hangar (using a lock pick).
3) The Pilot: Clark broke in (literally) and entered the Messenger Hangar, causing willful property damage to the Messenger hangar's door.
4) TOGOM: Superman dangles Dillinger upside-down from a building to gain information. (Attempted Murder in the 2nd degree?, Attempted Assault?, Menacing in the 3rd degree, Reckless Endangerment, etc.) [Let's not get into nit-picking whether or not this constitutes a crime since Dillinger is technically a clone. That's just a whole other can of worms. For the sake of this discussion, let's just say a clone life is equal to a human or Kryptonian.]
5) Ides of Metropolis: Lois bribes the bailiff to let her have 'a minute alone' with Eugene Laderman in the holding cell. ("Rewarding Official Misconduct in the first degree")
6) And the Answer Is: Clark (albeit using some super abilities) stole jewelry for Mazik. True, he was coerced into doing so, so the courts would probably go easy on him if he had actually been brought to trial, but he did, nevertheless, steal from a jewelry store.
7) Smart Kids: Clark stole a sample of Mentamide 5.
8) PML: Clark stole an atomizer of Revenge.
9) HiM: Lois committed B&E.
10) OP: Superman appears to freeze Spenser Spenser to death. [Admittedly, he would undoubtedly be exonerated on the grounds that his actions were in self-defense. Also, do we even know with which country the island is supposed to be a part of -- hence with which laws might apply there? ]
11) IoM: Hiding Eugene, an escaped convict. "aiding and abetting" (Harboring an escaped Felon)
12) DLW: Superman breaks Lois out of prison. Bad Superman, bad...
13) IoM: Lois takes away Eugene's gun from him (but we never see exactly what she does with it.) So, possession of stolen property / unregistered firearm / concealed weapon.
14) Madame Ex: Lois steals medical files from Dr. Heller's office - Theft.
a) locking the temp in a room to do so – unlawful imprisonment
15) Church of Metropolis: Clark impersonates a police officer.
16) Neverending Battle: Superman bends Luthor's sword. Destruction of personal property.
17) Neverending Battle: Superman shoots a gun at Lex Luthor (okay, he deserved it). Attempted murder / Reckless endangerment.
18) The Pilot: Superman and Lois both trespass onto the Prometheus shuttle. Lois also planned on traveling without permission / (attempted) stowaway.
19 a) AtAI: Superman murders Lois Lane with his freezing breath and then thaws her out again - Reckless endangerment and Promoting a Sucide Attempt
b) AtAI: Lois suicide by superhero
20) Voice from the Past: Superman murders Lois Lane (AGAIN) by freezing breath, and then thaws her back out. (Reckless Endangerment, AGAIN)
21) Swear to God: Clark destroys Lamont's (Leo Nunk's photographer) film using his vision do-hicky (x-ray vision). - – willful destruction of property [Although, being that nobody present except Lois knows that CK=SM and she'd never testify against her husband, I doubt this willful destruction of property would ever make it to court.]
22) The Pilot: Clark uses his heat vision to destroy the engine of the machinery that was about to demolish the theater – Vandalism?
23) TOGoM: Clark fakes his own death. (Granted, he finds a way to resurrect himself...)
24) Battleground Earth: Clark partakes in a duel to the death. - Attempted murder? [Or is there actually an anti-dueling law?]
25) Lord of the Flies: Lois. Solicitation.
26a) PML: Perry sexually harasses Rehaila.
26b) PML: Lois sexually harassed Clark.
27a) Lucky Leon: Superman: Stealing a nuclear device.
27b) Lucky Lean: Superman: Detonating a nuclear device in the atmosphere.
I think we could formulate a treason/terrorism charge for either of these that gets him the death penalty in a federal court.
27c)* Lucky Leon: Superman hands over nukes to terrorists after stealing them from legit US soldiers. Terrorism . (Um, Clark, about that "checking your sources" thing you do as a reporter...)
28) Strange Visitor: Lois & Clark: Espionage
29) Family Hour: Lois and Clark – Kidnapping of Baby
30) Double Jeopardy – Clark/Superman: Aiding and Abetting

32a) Top Copy: Lois steals Mayson's beeper. Theft of personal property.

37) IoG: Superman - destruction of public property (specifically, parking meters).
38a) JSN: L&C may be considered to be trespassing when they enter Smiley's back room.
38b) Even though they realized that the torn page belonged to Smiley, instead of returning it, they took it off of his property. So perhaps theft could be added to their rapidly-increasing rap sheet.
39) Requiem: Breaking and entering Menken's Gym (specifically Dr. Sam Lane’s medical office).
40) JSN: Lois and Clark took the torn page from the dead woman's shoe (Janet?). Withholding / removing evidence from a murder scene.

44) HoL: Clark, Jimmy, and Perry - harboring an escaped Juvenile Detention Center prisoner (Jack).

49)* BFTB - Lois and Clark sneak into a cemetery after hours. Trespassing.

70) The Dad Who Came in From the Cold: Superman hides the briefcase at the start of the episode just after the agent is killed would technically be illegal, since the people looking for it are actually government agents – removal of evidence from a crime scene / murder
71) Seconds: Lois acting as Wanda Detroit assists Luthor in breaking into Star Labs and stealing some things – breaking and entering / theft
72) Forget me Not: Lois uses a gun to try to kill Perry. – attempted murder [True, she has been hypnotized into doing it by Dr. Mendenhall]

74) PML: Cat has sex with the copier repair guy in a public place (the copy room). Public Indecency / Lewdness. (depending on the jurisdiction, she might have to register as a sex offender if charged.)
74a) Clark looks into the Copy room and sees what Cat and the repair guy are doing. Especially since he responded to hearing noise in there, this may well count as voyeurism.

78) Never On Sunday: while in Jamaica as a green reporter, Clark ran the story of Hendricks/Baron Sunday and the gun running operation, presumably without checking all his sources. A background check later proves Hendricks was completely clean. Libel and defamation of character.

86) Resurrection: Lois and Clark break into Mayson's office in Resurrection. Breaking and entering.
87)* Shadow of a Doubt - Superman -When he first finds someone strangled by Hanson, he breaks open the door, but since he can hear heart-beats and things like that he should be able to tell the guy is dead, and this seems to be negligent intervention on his part - needless disruption of a crime scene
88) the Pilot - Lois and Clark enter into what appears to be a condemned building to speak to Dr. Platt. (We see them ducking under the yellow cordoned-off tape.) Trespassing.
