There's plenty of crimes that affect people inside your country and can be perpetrated by people outside your country. If the criminal happens to be inside your country, don't let them leave.
We don't need a no fly list for that. We can use the same info that would prevent them from flying to arrest them instead.
Agreed. I only said "don't let them leave. "
Buying knife abroad is still preparation outside of country, still to commit crime in some country you have to be in that country.
"Perpetrated," not prepared.
You can become a gang leader and decide the fuz are getting too close to your trail, then move to Honduras and keep advising your gang members back home. You could also just scam people out of their money over the internet and the country in which the victims live is going to be interested prosecuting you, regardless of where you are.
Derp. Then you have crime commited outside of jurisdiction of US.
Yes and no. It's a crime committed across international borders. The US can't go into the other country to go get the perpetrator, but if they step foot inside the US the feds can arrest and charge them. If their home country is decent the perpetrator will get charged at home or extradited to the US, but some countries don't do either, for a variety of reasons.
