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.

Crossing state lines during the commission of a crime elevates it from a state crime to a federal crime. Once it becomes a federal offense then the FBI has jurisdiction and you’re most definitely fucked.
