But before Breaking Dawn, the Cullens did, in fact, commit a crime. They didn't keep their secret away from humans. Aro (and the rest of the Volturi) kept an eye on them to make sure Bella became a vampire, or he'd have to kill her. If the Cullens didn't break the rules, none of the things that happened would have happened. At least not in that little period of time, really. If the Cullens didn't hang around a human, none of the crap between Bella and Edward would have happened, so Aro wouldn't have met Bella, learned her mind can't be read, and then keep an eye on the Cullens and her, waiting for her to be a vampire, etc, etc. Aro may have wanted Edward and Alice for a while, but that wouldn't have been upped a bit if the Cullens hadn't been around Bella anyway. The Cullens (Edward in particularly) always screw up. You can't blame the Volturi for following them; they're just trying to keep everything in order.
