Commit crimes, get relatively short term sentence and pay 200$ fine, stay in the U.S.
Crime does pay. Sucks pretty hard, identity theft is really nasty if it happens to you.
That being said while slightly exaggerated the claim of torture in Belarus isn't far fetched. Dude in charge is pretty much a crazy dictator.
I remember during the (last?) elections his main opponent was mysteriously beaten up and he said in an interview that he shouldn't whine about it like a little girl.
p.s.: How do these arrests happen, is interpol involved or can the FBI negotiate with the Czech government and just roll in there?
The idea that you arrest someone to serve time in your prison because he broke your laws, and then you cannot send them back because of another law is just mind-blowing.
How so? That's sort of the whole point of law and the government. You may not follow the law, and you may be punished if you don't, but they are always supposed to. You don't forfeit all your rights just because you break the law.
Well, yeah, but this guy gained whatever rights he has in the US just by breaking US law and being kept in prison there. Not only didn't he forfeit rights just by breaking the law - he gained his rights that way! Sounds a tad buggy and something a lawmaker might want to fix to avoid this kind of thing next time.
