Do you think the Pokémon world has frequent police involvement with such cases? Seems awfully, well not dangerous per se as they'd just keep you happily sedated and fed as dream cattle but y'know... problematic at the very least.
Good question! If we go by the Pokédex entries in general, most of them are dangerous to humans like a wild animal would be, while the Psychic/Ghost types like to do some creepy stuff.
Gothorita likes to hypnotize sleeping children to be it's friends, Beheeyem can manipulate memories and a group of them controlled an entire city in the anime, which was a nice discovery for me (Capacia Island UFO! is the episode), etc. Maybe it happens often, but Psychics in general are so powerful police would rather let them be than force a conflict.
