Corrected entry: Carl's sub-plot for being wanted by the New York police is completely ignored upon returning to NYC. Giant ape or no giant ape not only should he have been charged for his previous crime, but also for resisting arrest.

Correction: As we see when Kong premiers in New York, Carl has suddenly become best friends with the executives that previously wanted him arrested. So we can assume that they have decided not to press charges, most likely in return for a percentage of the profits. And it can be hard to prove that Carl actually resisted arrest or he simply departed before the police arrived.
