US police invited to train Canuck RCMP in profiling techniques

to catch those evil-doer pot heads, no less. Looks like the RCMP dnd their Texan trainers tangled with the wrong guy when they stopped and searched an off duty Vancouver city policeman who actually knew his rights. I guess he might as well use them while we still have them

David Laing says police overstepped the law when they stopped his car, decided he was driving under the influence of marijuana, and searched his vehicle and two-year-old son.

Under Canadian law, that kind of search is illegal.

What upset the Laing even more is that some the officers he tangled with were actually American police officers.

Last spring, Laing was driving on a highway near Hope. He turned a corner and a man in an orange traffic vest in the middle of the road motioned him to pull over. In a heavy Texas accent, the man asked for Laing's identification.
