They will be hauled before a court (local) and be adjudged - very publicly - "an outlaw" in the most classic sense of the term. They are someone who exists outside the umbrella of the rule of law and any/all of its protections. They are prohibited from living in any incorporated municipality, regardless of size. They have no recourse should a victim from a previous crime of theirs seek them out to exact whatever measure of justice they deem appropriate. Don't call 911, and you'll not be seen at the ER. Hit the road, disappear, because you are an outlaw. If someone should accidentally (or otherwise) run you over, your carcass will be disposed of IAW typical actions taken for roadkill, budget permitting. Then again, "buzzards gotta eat, same as worms."
You have something there.

No financial support, no social benefits.
No rights (to vote, hold office, possess firearms, etc...)
No burden to society>

You are an outlaw by definition.
