The reason I'm uncomfortable is because this guy posted an ad on craigslist looking for customers, but I don't think the cops would bother coming to another town just to give me a ticket for half an oz...
They cant arrest you in another jurisdicton, BUT, they can detain you in another jurisdiction until cop from said Jurisdiction shows up. A Few cities in the US have rules set against police that prevent them from chasing into another jurisdiction, Detroit is like that. Detriot did it because people were saying Police werent chasing Whites into other counties, but would chase a black guy until the chase stopped.
