It’s illegal to cross the border outside of official border crossings, see 8 U.S. Code § 1325 - Improper entry by alien. Of course in this case it seems like the crossing was unintentional, and I’m unsure if the UK has similar laws.
- mcbits 6y agoI'm not sure how to track the history of US code, but it looks like that law didn't exist until 2012.
- cortesoft 6y agoSo it sounds like... you are unsure if they broke any laws Also remember there was no internet in 1965, they couldn’t exactly google for a law.
- bitcurious 6y agoIf I’m reading it correctly, the law you cited only applies to non-citizens of the US, so if a citizen posted themselves to return home they wouldn’t be in violation. This was a case of a UK citizen (attempting) returning to the UK, so the equivalent law wouldn’t apply.
