SAFE HAVEN FOR CRIMINALS

American criminals can escape to foreign countries that the U.S. does not have extradition policies or treaties with, then acquire a new identity and subsequently escape punishment and jail time in the USA!

Foreign governments, including France and England, may knowingly or unknowingly allow American criminals to vanish in their countries! Even if American law enforcement authorities do catch up with American criminals in foreign lands , due to foreign government "red tape" bureaucratic procedures and the long time it takes to process the "red tape", the criminals are virtually allowed to escape prosecution and capture then they vanish once they know the "heat" is on and they are close to getting caught!
