my father was a navel yard worker and in the navy ............tells of a story of a turkey ship ......one of the crew mens goes over the line with a waitress goes to jail they get him out on bail .......have all work stopped on the ship towed out passed the 12 mile mark .......left there called back 2 hours later to be towed in and work started back up .......crewmen never came off the ship again
u are not thinking like a snake .......like a lawyer always loop holes ..............and any crime commited in international waters the case is to go to a international court system since not in a country area..............from their they can decide if it is from the home port country or the country the citzen was from and those laws .............check it up
i did not say it was cheap did i just untouchable under the current rules ............and your not taken in account of a wrecked vessle being reworked ..............and if u really want to get down to it ...........if u find a craft with no one on it and it is floated or underwater u can claim it after that it is yours ..............somalei prirate kill everyone have anouther group claim it after the first leaves .........even if the law forces u to turn it in since no one was alive and it was not their doing they get money for the return some kind of % but i do not rem off top of head i think 30%

wave engery diesel is back up and steering......(for those that are not going to read it it basically those shake up lights but stronger u know the one everyone laughs becuase looks like jerking off)
Dude, you are a fucking moron. Sorry, I tried playing nice. First, you have no understanding of the laws you claim to understand. Second, you're going to salvage a boat from the bottom of the ocean, and then use solar energy and wave energy to run enough lights for a massive grow operation? Okay, yeah, since it costs millions of dollars to locate an underwater vessel worth salvaging, and then a few hundred thousand to repair it and install new engines. Good idea. That's way better than buying a million dollar vessel and a crap load of generators.
By the way, you mentioned Puerto Rico... it's a territory of the United States, so what good would that do you?
The important thing here is that you can't just fly any old flag for protection, and even if you got a foreign country to allow you to fly their flag... I promise you it wouldn't be the Netherlands or any country where mj is legal. And then, even if it was the Netherlands, guess what? You're not safe in international waters if the activity you're undertaking threatens the laws of a sovereign nation. Stop being stupid.
The other categories are forms of extraterritorial jurisdiction:
(2) The nationality principle, also sometimes called the active personality principle. That's the one involved where ships are concerned. LOSC says, "Ships have the nationality of the State whose flag they are entitled to fly." The nationality principle says that states have the right to regulate the conduct of their nationals. One example of this principle at work is section 4 of the Indian Penal Code, which says, "The provisions of this Code apply also to any offence committed by (1) any citizen of India in any place without and beyond India; (2) any person on any ship or aircraft registered in India wherever it may be." Another example is the U.S.'s application of its civil rights laws to Americans employed abroad by American employers.
(3) The passive personality principle, which is jurisdiction based on the nationality of those injured by the conduct. This kind of jurisdiction is controversial. An example is
18 USC §7, a statute by which the U.S. asserts jurisdiction "[a]ny place outside the jurisdiction of any nation with respect to an offense . . . against a national of the United States."
(4) The protective principle. According to Amnesty International:
National law in most states permits courts to exercise jurisdiction over conduct by persons abroad which harms the national--particularly the security--interests of the forum state in violation of its own national criminal law (protective or security principle or compétence réelle ou compétence du protection). This principle has been used to prosecute national security offences; currency offences; counterfeiting currency, stamps, seals and emblems; desecration of flags; economic crimes; forgery, fraud or perjury in connection with official documents, such as passports and visas; immigration offences and political offences.
(5) Universal jurisdiction. According to
Henry Kissinger, "the doctrine of universal jurisdiction asserts that some crimes are so heinous that their perpetrators should not escape justice by invoking doctrines of sovereign immunity or the sacrosanct nature of national frontiers." Under the relevant treaties, any State can board a ship on the high seas if the ship is suspected of piracy, transporting slaves, or broadcasting illegally. A ship and its occupants can be arrested for piracy and illegal broadcasting by a warship of any State. For other crimes, the arresting State must get the consent or assistance of the flag state. Also, a ship that flies two flags (flags of convenience) or a ship flying no flag may be visited for further inquiry by any State's ships. Ships without flags, and those that fly flags of convenience are subject to the jurisdiction of any State. While some scholars disagree, national courts have upheld convictions based on such arrests.
and remember you have the legal right to refuse police or anyone else entry to your home. If they had a Warent they would have kicked your door down.
