Explain like I’m five and foreign, what is the importance of crossing state lines in convictions that they mention it? For example,
22-year-old Matthias Jacob Edward Mann was arrested by the FBI at his family’s home in Hartselle, Alabama Thursday morning. His charges include attempted kidnapping and attempting to entice someone to cross state lines to commit a sexual crime.

As soon as you cross state lines in the commission of a crime, that crime comes under Federal jurisdiction, meaning you’re now subject to attention from the FBI. It doesn’t make the crime itself worse per se, but it *does* mean that there are way more law enforcement resources up against you, and which is *considerably* less likely to be willing to cut you a plea deal.
