MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Altese, 542 F.2d 104 (2nd Cir. 1976):
While the majority's disregard of legislative intent is troublesome, it pales in the shadow of the prospective consequences of their action on sensitive federal-state relationships and limited federal police resources and the resultant transformation of relatively minor state offenses into federal felonies by mere geographic happenstance. Rewis v. United States, supra, 401 U.S. at 812, 91 S.Ct. 1056.
