My dad never used RDs so it didn't have a bad ending -- just kinda strange.
I'm calling Bull$hit on this one.
1. There are no Mounties in Ontario except to protect Federal buildings and foreign embassies. Large(r) munipalities have their own police forces, and the rest of the province is patrolled by the OPP.
2. Police do not randomnly enter peoples cars/vans looking to find "something". Although under the Ontario Highway Traffic Act a police officer can search your vehicle without warrant if he believes it has a detector, there has to be probable ground for the search ie: spectre 3
