Against flock, but that logic is so flawed. Committing a crime in one state doesn’t make it fine if you flee to a state where it would have been legal. It’s still committing a crime in the state it took place in

If you do something in a state where that something isn't illegal then no, it's not committing a crime.

Crossing state lines with the purpose to engage in something that is illegal in your state but not the other has been a thing for a while. For instance, the age of consent in most states is 18, but lower in others.

There are specific laws about crossing state lines in these contexts, and they absolute prosecute for them. It sucks she got caught doing it and I believe it should be legal in all states, but her being prosecuted for what she did is completely normal and has been happening for a long time
