Round world runner accused of hitchhiking
A Frenchman is facing deportation from Australia for allegedly hitchhiking and scrounging while pretending to be running around the world.
Sylvain Quenel has been handed over to the Immigration Department after being detained at Eucla on the Western Australia-South Australia border.
Police allege the man had been hitchhiking to towns, then seeking food and other goods while pretending to have made his journey entirely on foot.
Residents along the route reported that the supposed runner had covered more than 40 miles in three hours, reports ABC News.

Mathair & Athair beo.
Huh?
When did hitchhiking become a felony
Who's crazy nanny brain thought that one up?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Nothing in that article says anything about him being charged with a felony.

You can't be accused of hitchiking, stupidity yes, but not hitchiking.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I think it's more the fraudulant (which I seem to be unable to spell) behaviour that's the problem - the whole pretending-to-be-a-round-the-world-runner-and-using-this-as-a-pretext-for-getting-strangers-to-give-him-stuff deal. Not the hitchiking per se, but rather the lying and the deceiving people into supporting him.
Or at least, that was my interpretation.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
In the US, it's illegal to hitchhike in quite a few states and you can indeed be picked up by the police for it.

Yes, it's illegal to hitchhike in some places. Dunno about Oz, but he was being all fraud-y. And loudly ignoring Dana when she's being calm, reasonable, and right? Kinda rude.

OH! Ok. Well, that's fine then. :)
