As to the topic of this thread, the 5th Amendment is for individuals, not "state" entities. Governmental bodies have all sorts of protections from individuals and other governmental entities.
How do you feel about people being charged with crimes by the US Government for actions committed outside the USA which may not be illegal in the foreign country?

How do you feel about the USA having laws, and enforcing them, about US Citizens going to foreign countries to commit crimes in the USA and not necessarily illegal in foreign countries? An example is the USA charges people with crimes for going to foreign countries to engage in the use of (normally under 18) prostitutes?

Just a simple example of the USA charging people for traveling to commit what they USA see as a crime.
