There's something inherently entertaining about a conversation with the police that starts off with them all self-righteous and 'well, we couldn't get hold of anyone!' and finishes with them all sheepish once I've explained how they can't actually legally do what they were planning to do and how much even trying to do it without proper consultation has dropped them in it.

Similar conversation with a lawyer earlier in the day as well, again about how the law/regulations do not allow us to do what she thinks, particularly as someone else had that self-same conversation with her last week and she seems to have forgotten all about it since. *headdesk*
