In general, it probably does. But in the case of Germany, it's just plain ridiculous since they have US military and spy bases within their territory (and the politicians who run around like headless chicken currently have been defending those and limiting citizens' rights near them - the bases themselves are US territory, but just showing up nearby gets you in trouble).
- stannol 13y agoI've lived near a US base in Germany all my life (I can actually see the "border" from my house) and I can't think of any way to "get in trouble" by showing up nearby. The only way to get in trouble here is to actually enter the base without permission.
