poses a reasonable threat, or contributes to evidence of a credible threat.

And who decides 'reasonable threat'? The people who are joking along with you on preddit or the people locking you in the Epstein cell temporarily until your tria-- ohhh, nevermind.

Note to Canadians: armed American federal cops have come to major Canadian cities to arrest Canadians for something illegal in America but not illegal here - like selling hemp seeds were - and taken them to America for processing. It's fucked up.

Legitimately, do you have a source/example?

Marc Emery jumps to mind first, but admittedly that was selling seeds with some evidence of cross-border sales, and IIRC he was arrested by the RCMP and Halifax Police Department, though acting on a warrant from the Western District of Washington. If there was another mid- to high-profile case like that, especially if American enforcement made the arrest on Canadian soil [edit: or if this is about Emery and I'm missing some key details] I 100% want to learn more.
