Unfair and great injustice to the citizens of the country where the person has broken the law to remain.  It is a simple thing:  if you go somewhere, you follow the laws of the place you go.

Exactly! I have all the sympathy to people who get wrongfully detained or convicted, but 0 for people who do wrong and complain they were caught.

You go to another country and act like an entitled child and I personally know such people. They rent a house, don't pay for it, ignore all the warnings and cry when you finally get evicted or your account gets frozen. Not to mention people who buy bitcoin, keep it on their phone with no backup and then it's OMG my phone died or my phone got stolen I lost all my BTC.

I can only relate to an arrest because when I go abroad I don't take all my bitcoin with me, so even if they'd somehow try to deport me without a warning (which will never happen) I wouldn't have to worry about my BTC. So let's say you get arrested, have no friends and family to ask for help and can't access the money, your only hope is that they release you soon, which will most likely happen on a minor charge. Let's say you got drunk and did something, maybe you got into a fight or damaged property, maybe it was a car accident, in all those cases you'd get out in 24-48 hours and could do whatever you want.

If it's a big thing like murder, GTA, large amount of drugs, where you're going you won't need bitcoin. Get ready for some ramen noodle diet! Cheesy
