Ticking of the police is not against the law

No, but wasting police time is.



Very true but not when they waste there own time. Personly it is a silly law made out of panic and in that is flawed. My approach just highlights the sillyness of the law in itself. I love the police but there again I don't break the law.

The point being that whilst your obligated to provide the key, there is nothing saying how that key is provided and that is another flaw in a flawed law. Though some people are taking it too literaly I suspect.

Until there is a case of this law being used to actualy procecute somebody unfairly and unjustly then it is hard to argue it's flaws, but we all see those flaws and shortcommings, like many things in life. Nothing is perfect.
