A Canadian Ultrarunner Was Arrested in #India for Carrying a #Garmin #inReach

#Lewis had unknowingly violated an Indian #law that requires individuals to obtain a #license before owning or using a personal #satellite #communication device. Lewis spent the next six days attempting to get her #passport back from authorities. She had to appear in court on three consecutive days, and she eventually hired lawyers to avoid #jail time.

Although I personally agree that the law is stupid so is going to another country without respecting their laws. Would you sympathise with an Indian who did not know that we expect motorcyclists to have passed a driving test?
