Depends on both the law - and where you broke it. Here's a bit of a slimy example - prostitution is legal in nevada. Do it there, and no problems. Do it back here at home in Philly where you live, problem. I believe the general rule of thumb is to look at the local laws. Remember the US kid who got caned in Singapore for defacing property? A misdemonor and fine here; phsyical punishment there (where the incident took place). > separate.
