Can you flee a country..


Recommended Posts

Yup, there's no running from the feds. Mexico might be a better alternative since there's less organization there.. You could spend a couple years in mexico, find a "host" family, create a new identity (with a new mom and pop) and then legally go to a different country (such as canada).. Even with a new identity, there's enough data that there's still a chance the US will figure out who you are and arrest you.

It really matters how big the crime is-- if you have a warrant on you for prancing around naked in public, it's going to be much easier to escape than if you have one for killing someone while prancing around naked.

What if I killed someone by prancing around naked? THEN what?!

I mean, all I did was go running through a retirement home with my assest hanging out and a few grandmothers fell over! I SWEAR I DIDN'T MEAN TO KILL THE WOMEN! Come to think of it, a few gramps died of heart attacks. I guess the blood started flowing again. :rolleyes:

The Texas border is not that easy to pass in case you are wondering.

I beg to differ. I work in Texas and have crossed in Brownsville/Matamoras, McAllen/Reynosa, Larado/Nuevo Larado, and El Paso/Juarez. I do this about once a month to go siteseeing/shopping. Easy as pie everytime, no ID check to leave the US. Just take a quarter with you to pay the toll to walk to bridge.

Anyone who thinks its difficult to cross over the US/Mexico border in Texas obviously never has tried.

assuming there is a warrant for ur arrest, good luck evne leaving the country, you will get caught the second u leave the Country.... Most countries in the world cooperate with eachother for reasons such as yours. Just like how the FBI arrested NY Mafia members who fled to Italy.

Canada is the last place u wanna go if u commited a crime in the US

I'm sure you mean flee, but being a flea in this case might help you flee more fleetly of foot, considering it would be a mighty feat for you to fleetly flee jumping 100 times your body length as a flea can flee.

I'm tired, and don't want to do my math hw. What do you want from me? :laugh:

Canada has extradition treaties with the US. About the only thing they don't apply to is if you are going back to face the death sentence as Canada refuses to extradite in such circumstances.

The other thing is that most of Canada's population is within about 140 miles of the border (any further north and it's a bit chilly) so unless you plan on freezing your bits off up north you're not far from the border and population at any time.

Suppose (as already stated) there's a *lot* that depends on specifics regarding how severely one might be "sought". There's a lot of international cooperation when it comes to law enforcement, so "fleeing" can actually be pretty dumb, and just make a web much more tangled and confusing indefinitely.

Assuming you're talking a potential criminal issue, whatever's gone on, one should consult with an attorney (often free for first consultation), take full responsibility, and do whatever possible (with attorney advice) to set things "right".

U.S. legal system can give a lot of credit to people who take responsibility for various wrongs, and thereafter minimize "penalties" should they do so. It's actually pretty rare and even admired when people can face up to their mistakes, most especially if they're relatively young. Fleeing, being dishonest, etc., in the long-term can permanently destroy one's life beyond redemption.

Assuming this is a "real", not theoretical issue, whoever this applies to should get to an attorney ASAP. Confidentiality and attorney-client privilege is a standard -- attorneys are to act in their clients' interests, not "turn people in", and they themselves can be severely penalized / have their careers terminated should they violate such.

Personally, if this might be a "real" issue, I'd say one should get to an appropriate attorney, and most likely practice prevention and, as such, take responsibility voluntarily, rather than face an entire life on the run.

The more things are confronted and one takes responsibility early-on, the more things are actually quite relatively repairable.

U.S. legal systems *most* penalize ongoing dishonesty, unaccountability, lack of conscience, trying to flee/avoid, etc. (Clinton himself was impeached for perjury / avoiding responsibility/ lying under oath -- not for what he actually did, as much as he shouldn't have done it in the first place.)

A degree of understanding mistakes / forgiveness can often be incorporated in the "system" if one doesn't outright resist off the bat. See an attorney if this is a "real" issue.

Canada is in cahoots with the USA, so Mounties'd be on your ass.

I've never seen a real mountie in my entire life, I feel like this is sort of lacking to my canadian citizenship :p

if you were fleeing for something other than murder or rape, you could just chill somewhere else for 3 years and let the statute of limitations kick in and then they can't touch you.

Considering he's not posting anymore, I think he already made a run for it ;)

Or a mod finally got wise, looked up his IP, and contacted the proper authorities :devil:

If you are wanted for arrest in america but you flea to cananda and make it there sucessfully is there an ammount of years that you have to wait tol return to america.. like if your missing for so many years aren't you considered MIA or dead? .. so if u disappered for x-ammount of years and then return to america would you still be wanted for arrest or would you be considered dead.. this is a serious quesiton so no retarded comments plz..

Depending on what you did it might be anywhere from 5-7 then it kinda goes away put if its something like murder they can get you 50+years from now if they wanted to, but yeah depending on what it is there is a program in the U.S. Goverment called the United States Marshalls Service and they can get you if you come back or if your on a plane. but other then that i would goto Mexico.

how is that an invasion of privacy? Seems public knowledge.

Someone at this IP address is posting in our forums about his buddy committing grand theft and fleeing the country. Then it would up to the local authorities to have his ISP surrender their logs, at that point you could argue invasion of privacy.

If you really aren't the one who is contemplating fleeing (yeah right!) tell that bitch-ass coward to face his punishment. He stole, I'm guessing a car, so he should be punished. IMO the law isn't hard enough on thieves - we should cut off hands and other body parts for each successive theft. Get a job, you (the person who did this) loser, and actually BUY (omfg what a concept!) the things you want.

no im am still here had to get in contact w/ a few people about some "paperwork" type things.. but some of the input has been good, other people just need to OD because they post stupid comments that are not even related to this topic.. and to the person who said neowin deals with technology.. this somewhat does deal with technology because of how america can track someone with creditcard purchases

hahaha best thing i think would be to go to some boney town in the middle of nowhere where they have like one cop and live there. No one will ever find you and you can get a job without a social security card and stuff at McD's I never showed burger kind any of my SS stuff and they hired me. Just make up a number live there for a year and move on.
