The analogy doesn't work, and not because it is not astute. The policeman has jurisdiction over the area that the crime happened. If we started to prosecute everyone accused of a crime in their home country I can see the chaos already. How do you collect evidence, what about witnesses, who provides legal representation to the accused, how do you determine punishment? This in my opinion is not a legal question, it has more to do with politics.
