How can i travel in the USA without being imprisoned?
From the number of prisoners, the liability of being imprisoned
is in the USA more than ten times as big as it is in Germany.
So, I fear of course to become imprisoned, when travelling in the USA.
How can I avoid?

Have enough money to pay all fines. True you will be put in jail overnight then see the judge & told how much bribe to deposit to leave jail. That is not prison. Avoid contact with the American cops. Never speak to one. Avoid eye contact with them. If you see one up the street step into a store remain there till it leaves.Always remember they are armed & mental so try to stay calm act as submisive as possable around them that strokes there ego. Good luck in America.

I have lived in the USA for 67 of my 70 years. I have never been arrested or imprisoned. I do not carry a gun or any weapon. I avoid places with a bad reputation. You can do that, too. Very few visitors make trouble.

The easiest way to not be arrested or imprisoned after you are found guilty of something is to not break the law.

The liklihood that you'll wind up in legal trouble if you come to the US is actually vanishingly small. Just don't break any laws and you'll be fine.

You can not. As soon as you set foot in the US you will be arrested and beaten. Then you will be returned home on the next available flight.
It is best to stay home.

don't be a criminal? i don't understand what is so hard for people to grasp about this. you won't become imprisoned if you do nothing wrong.

The concern is real in the United States -
For a yes or a no, you can be arrested and taken to jail for at least a few hours -
So - for that initial "jail time" - you are not innocent until proven guilty
The United States law enforcement indulges in "jail first" and "figure the case later" -
And they shoot too...
Avoid the United States for travel - they have different concepts of "what is criminal or not" - -
