Didn't they do that in Divinity Original Sin 1? I sware that's a thing.
And O:OS2. Of you commited crime in towns guards would arrest you. I am pretty sure you could talk/bribe your way or resist arrest (combat) but if you agreed you would be moved to jail and had to jailbreak (or be jailbroken by coop players/companions). I would be shocked if BG3 didn't have something of that kind - according to previous posted it is there.
