Here's my example.
A man picks up a female hitchhiker on the approaches to the George
Washington Bridge in NY. They hit it off and when they reach Fort Lee
NJ they immediately go to a motel. If the decision to do this is made
before the Hudson River crossing the Mann act has been violated, if the
decision is made after arriving in NJ the Mann act hasn't.

We went through this discussion, the Mann Act, which criminalize "the
transportation of women across state lines for immoral purposes". It
was originally aimed at organized crime, (white slavery rings, which may
or may not have been a real problem). However it was soon came to be a
general prohibition. You have to be a mind reader to be able to
prosecute anyone under that statute. It's been done successfully many
times however...

Hmmm, good point. However, that one is more clear cut in a way. Transporting
a woman across state lines can be proved. Even if the for immoral purposes
part can't.
But I get what you are saying.
