    i think there are some crimes that will be prosecuted by your home country anyway

    It seems pretty rare, but some countries do have laws that essentially apply to citizens, regardless of where they are.

    The PROTECT Act is a US law that makes it illegal for any US citizen to have sex with minors, regardless of where in the world it occurs. It’s essentially an anti-sex tourism law. Japan and South Korea warned their citizens that smoking cannabis in Canada will still result in prosecution after Canada legalized it.
