Go to Idaho.

>From the Social Science Research Network:

Abstract:
This article argues that there is a 50-square-mile swath of Idaho in
which one can commit felonies with impunity. This is because of the
intersection of a poorly drafted statute with a clear but neglected
constitutional provision: the Sixth Amendment’s Vicinage Clause.
Although lesser criminal charges and civil liability still loom, the
remaining possibility of criminals going free over a needless technical
failure by Congress is difficult to stomach. No criminal defendant has
ever broached the subject, let alone faced the numerous (though
unconvincing) counterarguments. This shows that vicinage is not taken
seriously by lawyers or judges. Still, Congress should close the Idaho
loophole, not pretend it does not exist.

So have at ‘er. But you should download the paper. You’ll need it for
your defense.
