I'm reinforcing r055oo's point. And I've mentioned this incident in other threads.
There's a felony warrant in Washington State for my arrest.
And all I did was send a buddy a couple of ounces of pipe tobacco in return for some he'd sent me a year or so before. There was no mention anywhere of funds due. It was simply a gift. He and I didn't know the law applied to gifts.
But the posties smelled the tobacco in the shipment and alerted the authorities. The state heavies showed up at his door with the shipment in hand and arrested him in front of his wife and children.
He got off the beef finally, but it took him several thousands in legal fees.
In the meantime, a class-C felony warrant was sworn out on me also. Obviously, even to the Washington State tobacco thugs, it's not worth trying to extradite me from Illinois. But every couple of years, I get a nasty letter telling me I'm a fugitive from justice and ordering me to show up in Washington State for arrest and arraignment.
Needless to say, I'll never, ever, go to Washington State for any reason.
Where tax money is involved, states and the federal government will stop at almost nothing to get what they think is due them. And, if the law allows, they'll throw your sorry fundament in the slammer.
