Government Overreach turns mountain run into a federal incident with the Grand Tetons

Imagine this: you put on your shoes, vent the fresh mountain air, and hit the trails of Grand Tetons National Park. You complete the legendary speed record in the world of super driving, and fellow runners celebrate you. Next, you’re being slapped at a Federal Crime.

Sounds like a joke, right? Sadly, it’s real and is happening now to Michelino Sansseli, a 32-year-old bartender and record-breaking mountain runner.

Sunseri has traveled hundreds, if not thousands, of trails. There was no gate. Park rangers don’t stop people. A small indication of “erosion” hidden in the middle of the surge brush. But that was enough National Park Bureau I’ll charge him Federal Crime.

Currently, Sunseri is fined up to $5,000, six months in federal prison, and at worst, is considering a permanent criminal history. To add insult to his injuries, he could be banned from his beloved mountain, Grand Tetons National Park, for the next five years.

This is not justice. This is an overcriminalization.

Sunseri must not be a criminal. He didn’t destroy or hurt anyone. He ran down the trail. He did not damage the trail and was open about it. He posted a record-breaking run on a digital app. That’s when government officials decided to take his example.

When federal officials act as lawmakers, judges, and ju judges, there is little that no one can do. As a former federal prosecutor, you can tell that the Department of Justice has won 90% of its cases. And too often there is no common sense, no blessing or understanding. Unidentified power of raw.

And here’s the truth: it can happen to you.

When the government creates a labyrinth of obscure rules and hidden signs and prosecutes those who violate it Without knowing and without intentionthat’s not justice. It’s about power and control.

The Sunseri incident is a warning to all of us. It shows what happens when Americans are expected to follow rules that they cannot even see. No one across the federal government is tracking all of them, but it estimates there are over 300,000 federal laws and regulations that pose federal criminal penalties.

And once you are convicted of a federal crime, your records will not be erased. Even if you are forgiven, your criminal history will last you for the rest of your life, preventing housing, education and employment opportunities.

The Sunseri case is not about trails. It’s about the growing gap between everyday citizens and the bureaucracy that is out of hand to which it considers best to know. It is about the erosion of freedom in the name of government authorities.

You can’t sit and continue doing this. Government overreach is realistic, and this case is Attachment A. It requires laws written by elected lawmakers. It requires clarity, not hidden signs or gotcha rules. And most of all, we need a judicial system that remembers the difference between a criminal and a man who loves to run in the mountains he lives in.
