real criminals, fine, don&#39;t let them in. But then the rest is either <br/>
minor stuff (breaking a window in this guy&#39;s case) or just totally <br/>
stupid stuff (getting in trouble for something that everybody does <br/>
and most get away). And finally, most of you may not have a criminal <br/>
record, but those of you who have never done anything at least <br/>
minorly criminal, throw a rock at me... It&#39;s just luck whether you <br/>
get caught or not. Just staying in the confines of border violations, <br/>
I know I have stepped over borders illegaly many times (and so have <br/>
most of us here) and taken pictures of Russian border (up to 10 years <br/>
by Russian law). I wasn&#39;t really trying to harm any of those states <br/>
by violating their borders, just a borderfreak&#39;s fun, but officialy <br/>
that&#39;s crime, and not minor, so if I would&#39;ve got caught, would it <br/>
make sense to make me a dangerous persona non grata in US? I say no. <br/>
And then there are also the differences between what US and what <br/>
other states consider criminal offence</div>
