Also, if current US law is still applicable in the UCAS and the CAS
you don't have to be a citizen (SIN) to benefit from the laws.
However, actual law enforcement might not be helpful (for example, if
an illegal alien is robbed he might not receive as much attention as
a legal citizen in the same situation).
I have no idea what policy is in other countries.
BTW, this is one of those topics that pops up from time to time and
ends up starting a few brush fires. Please keep in mind that opinion
varies :)
