The cop in the last toon who's wondering if he should stop a guy who looks Canadian must detain the person, or his locality will be liable to a citizen lawsuit for not enforcing the law vigorously enough. Which means that any police agency has to choose between fighting expensive lawsuits (with the law heavily canted toward the xenophobes) or harrassing anyone who looks suspiciously like a non-citizen.
