Handcuffs and a strip-search? They go groping his asshole, too? Might have had a grenade up there, y'know...

I don't care if it was Canada or the UK or wherever, it was an over-reaction.

It'd be about like a cop drawing his weapon and ordering me to fling myself onto the pavement because he ran my plate and it was flagged with my CCW permit.

Oh, wait, that *DOES* happen here, don't it?
