Was the kidnapped Lindbergh child actually transported across state lines? Tisane (talk) 03:08, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seattle police have a right to build cases against victims of psychotic cops and neglegent courts??? The cops sick in the head spread lies about us in police department so every cop is program with fraudulent info then we find our court records forged and the court recording I know what I said recording will show who tells the truth lawyers lied to me threatened me to plead guilty to crimesthat don't exist I have affidavits to prove kidnappers destroy our legal system. Don't ever arrest me until you correct the past injuries injustices.

Lindbergh connection?[edit]

If this law was inspired by the Lindbergh kidnapping, why was it not introduced into Congress until 15 years after the kidnapping? --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:11, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

To answer my own question, it wasn't. It was passed in 1932, shortly after the kidnapping. The 1947-48 law previously listed here was a restatement of the Federal criminal code which included the kidnapping law as one of many sections, not the newly enacted Federal kidnapping law itself. I removed most of the infobox content because I don't have the rest of the info relating to the 1932 law. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:32, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Federal case?[edit]

Wasn't there an amendment made to the law that crossing state lines became a presumption so as to allow federal police involvement from the outset? I see nothing about this in the entry, so may be totally mistaken, or it may be a de facto sort of thing rather than de jure. 2601:346:1180:4320:21D8:4286:A56A:2DA9 (talk) 15:18, 30 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
