Yes, offences commited in the UK should be prosecuted in the UK.

The physical location from which the action took place is where the crime was commited, it's where the criminal was located during the act.

Cybercrime does muddle the issue, and the topic of 'presence' has been discussed for years.

Supposing a person could throw a stone as far as they liked, and they chose to throw a stone from the UK to a green house in Australia, where should they be tried ?

In the UK, since that's where they commited the crime from.

When i went through all this the CPS found that the DoJ had no evidence of the damage i was accused of, it was all hearsay according to the CPS after reviewing it.

The real question is, do we trust this particular extradition partner to act honestly and fairly.

I say NO!
