Related to "jurisdiction" authority, I saw an episode of "Cops" or somesuch, where a Texas DPS trooper
followed a violator onto the violator's home property.

The man was resisting the lawful commands of the trooper and told him "You don't have any authority
to be on my property!"

The trooper yelled back at him "The entire state of Texas is my jurisdiction!".

I thought this was a pretty accurate, and funny, response to the violator's assertion.

Was roaming around the "Cops" website to try and find the video clip, but gave up.

I don't know where in the Lone Star this happened, but if anyone remembers this episode, the violator's
wife goes to her husband's car and retrieves, then hides some weed. She did this while the trooper was
occupied with her husband. The violator had a Camaro or Firebird, IIRC.
