How the heck does a Texas state trooper have any jurisdiction in Hope BC?

David Laing was driving on a highway near Hope, BC. He had his two year old son with him. Laing was pulled over by a Texas State Trooper who wanted to search Laingā??s car for marijuana.

Laing is a member of the Vancouver Police department and knew that the search the Texas State trooper was requesting to do is illegal under Canadian law. After refusing the search, Laing was pulled over by an RCMP officer and a Texas State Trooper. The RCMP did search his car, as well as Laingā??s two year old son.

Although the RCMP settled out of court when Laing threatened to sue for wrongful detention, they insist that Laing was searched because his eyelashes were fluttering and his eyes were flashing. Fluttering eyelashes and flashing eyes are, according to Texas State Troopers and the RCMP, signs that a subject has been smoking marijuana.

Can you believe this crap?!!
