They've already shown no respect for the law with Breaking and Entering and now Kidnapping a Minor and False Imprisonment...
What's a little Bank Robbery thrown in to get money to live on?
(I'm getting the feeling the creators started out in a direction, but have taken TOO much from the community as far as leading this series, and it's turned into a total mess that makes no sense whatsoever. The Order, which supposedly controls the cops, can't put out an APB on their vehicle??? Especially now that thier new girl has been kidnapped, and BDJ's fingerprints HAVE to be all over the place at the scene of the crime? This whole plot line is looking like swiss cheese.)
It would actually make very little sense for Jules' parents/the Order to get the police involved, if she is actually the ceremony girl and the ceremony involves what we think it does. What happens after they get Jules back, arrest BD&J, and then the ceremony takes place? Wouldn't the disappearance of Jules be a bit of a problem?
Bree was prepping for the ceremony, and even did the practice, and didn't have any qualms about it until Gemma said it was a horrible, bad, dangerous thing. Gemma turned out to be a bald faced liar, so EVERYTHING she said should be looked at with skepticism.
If Jonas gets the cops involved, Jules is the evidence of kidnapping. And it was Gemma, (if memory serves,) that suggested that the cops were part of the Order to begin with, and she turned out to be betraying the three with false info and lies, so anything she said is questionable at best. Remember, Jonas wanted to go to the police, but was talked out of it by Bree.
Whether the cops are part of the order or not is irrelevant, since, (using a lawyer to get a deal for immunity in exchange for pointing them to Jules,) they'll want to rescue this kidnap victim, whether to return her to her parents to complete the ceremony she wants to do, or, (if they buy the whole, "she's in danger from this cult" thing,) into a foster home under the eye of child protective services while they investigate the cult.

Note to Creators:
IF you're reading this, this story is so inconsistant with the characters behavior, I have to think you aren't really getting the actors input as to what they think their characters would do, and after this much time, the actors should know their characters well enough that such input would greatly improve the consistancy of their actions.
(Example: Jonas, two episodes back, was pissed at the whole kidnapping scheme before it took place, saying clearly that he knew it would mean prison if caught. Next episode, after having fought with her for days about it, (according to Daniel,) he's back there comforting Bree and giving her a kiss on the forehead, and this episode, he's angry again and ready to bail on these two screwups. EACH of these characters shifts personality traits and tendencies every few, or even every other, episode, doing things that make no sense given their prior actions.
Jonas, who you've portrayed as the most level headed, practical, of the bunch is the one financing everything, but never once has he put his foot down about some stupid plan, and said, "if you do this, I'm outta here and y'all are back to dumpster diving and living in abandoned warehouses!," even though the other two have shown absolutely NO consideration of his concerns or welfare, nor very much appreciation for the loads of money he's blown driving them all over the hell and gone, sheltering them, feeding them, or putting his ass on the line for them through this whole misadventure. They seem to act like they're somehow entitled to use him as a chaufeur and money source, and he doesn't show the least sign of using the power financing this whole thing gives him to stop them from doing really stupid things that just get them into more trouble.
Y'all seemed to start this with an idea of where you wanted to go with the plot, but rather than letting the audience INFLUENCE events, but sticking with the basic plot advancement, seem to have let the audience take over, and with so many different ideas of what should happen next, have ended up with so many subplots going, and subsequent loose strings, I don't see how y'all are going to tie 'em all up for a cohesive and satisfactory ending.
(Unless you plan on this being a never ending story, which so far has devolved into a repetition of:
A - Run Away from bad guys.
B - Find someplace safe and unknown to the bad guys.
C - Forget they're on the run and party it up while revealing exactly where they are by filming identifiable landmarks, saying where they are, etc.
D - Get found and having some tragedy happen, (murder, kidnapped and drugged, etc.)
E - Escape and go to "A"
It's been 10 months, and nobody even has the vaguest idea of what's involved with this "ceremony". Patience is wearing thin with a lot of people, from what I see. Maybe move it along a bit?
Done, no fecal matter required...
