Multiple state statutes can
be engaged to prosecute
persons suspected of extremism . This is so even as federal
prosecutions are often the mainstay of terror- ism cases
. Both federal and state laws may have applicability relative to
an accused terrorist or hate crime perpetrator , among others .
The following crimes may
have relevancy in prosecuting rad- icals : terrorism , sedition ,
gang membership , organized crime
, hate crimes , arson ,
possession of unregistered explosives , and stalking
. As sometimes such fanatics are involved in precursor crimes or other criminality , their
un- lawful actions may span :
money laundering , weapons or drug
of- fenses , fraud , extortion , identity theft , human trafficking / smug- gling to sex crimes .
