Anyway, it would be an interesting precendent, if all you had to do was commit a crime in your country that wasn't on the books here to be able to get asylum.

I am comfortable with this, I would add that there would likely have to be a significant punishment that didn't fit the crime in addition to not being on the books here. Whats things are legal here that would be illegal elsewhere that aren't wroth fighting over.
Though if we legalize Marijuana it might change and you might see a lot more people try to do this.
