    IIRC, both KCs are seperate municipalities.

      If a city crosses state borders, how is it affected in regards to differing laws between the states?
      Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.
      -Richard Dawkins

        The laws of different states would apply in their own sections. But I don't think any states actually cross state lines. KC, MO and KC, KS are two seperate cities administratively. Each has its own mayor, etc. KC, KS is a suburb of KC, MO.

          I think the instance of American geographic stupidity that takes the cake is the way the timezones run - like, through states, or zig-zagging to capture one or two counties of a state into another time-zone, or the way daylight savings happens in only part of a state, and whatnot.

            Kansas was part of the Neb terr. West Mo has no defind border as of yet when KC, Mo was started. As they say the rest is history.

              The often arbitrary, straight line boundaries of western US states adds to the oddities of interstate border towns. Famous examples include the gambling towns at the Nevada side of every highway into the state and Texarkana on the Texas-Arkansas border, divided by the town's main road.

                    There's also El Paso, TX and Juares Mexico. One of the biggest sites of Cocaine trafficking into the US, as well as prostitutes of all sorts.

                      Kansas City has become another megapolis as the suburbs just keep growing. Kinda like a smaller version of S Cal...

                        Can you commit a small crime in one part of town then cross the street and laugh into the cop's face?

                            No.

                              sure.

                                I come from the third part of the triangle - Las Cruces. Cocaine trafficking is indeed big there, though the border patrol has done a decent job making it at least fairly hard. My mother worked for years as a drug prosecutor in that area, and had some great stories of places they found cocaine...

                                * muffler (sounds sort of obvious )
                                * in food coolers and such (lots of food, not many people...)

                                Not to mention that it was always 'someone else's car' and 'I don't know what he puts in his car' ...
