They don't do enough to count in film, by law they are within the rights to arrest and at most simply antagonists, unintentionally breaking the law doesn't excuse or prevent legal action, most might make exceptions in certain circumstances but don't have to. The entire "they are evil/villains" is speculation around one throwaway line and it doesn't matter what they are replaced with in a remake as that doesn't effect the original standing. Antagonistic force that can be seen as assholes due to Santa's claim? Yes but not enough to claim they fit here or as villains.
