"Much more disturbing than the illegal detention and search that Laing suffered is the involvement of Texas State Troopers. Why are police from a US state with regressive drug laws, a history of questionable searches, and a reputation for brutality pulling people over for random checks in Canada? The RCMP say that the Texas cops are here to train RCMP officers in techniques to find drug traffickers. That the search techniques are illegal, the profiling criteria being used by the Texans and the RCMP questionable at best, and the idea of allowing US police to pull people over in Canada thoroughly reprehensible apparently has not occurred to the RCMP or the Canadian government."


...incredible...
