U.S. governors urge Turks and Caicos to release Americans as Florida woman becomes 5th tourist arrested for ammo in luggage - Lemmy.World

Fucks sake. Why should they.
It’s literally a victimless crime committed unintentionally. Most people oppose 12-year prison sentences for harmless accidents.

Victimless crime. Who says they’re not smuggling ammo into the country to use for criminal activity? You only need to fire a single bullet to kill someone.

It’s more than correct that they’re detained and go to trial. I don’t think anyone is actually sentenced yet?

I also assume 12 years is the upper limit for possession here.

It was two rounds of loose hunting ammo. If you can kill someone with two rounds of ammo and no gun you can kill someone without two rounds of ammo…
Also it was leaving the country to fly to the U.S. where they could purchase it again legally, so not much of a reason to give them 12 years of prison
