You are right... what the law actually says is always debatable... but in theory at least, can be worked out sensibly....before getting to court....
However the law is often not applied sensibly or even in a way that is technically accurate...
Lawyers regard court differently than the public does, ultimately lawyers like to be contributing to the debate...
Generally speaking ending up in court for the average person is a disaster and should be avoided....
When we speak about legal issues in these types of arenas, we should frame the discussion in 2 ways.... firstly what does the law say... and secondly what tends to happen in real life...
If we consider both of these, we should then be able to formulate a sensible understanding of how we should behave in order to avoid issues....
However an understanding of the law, can be beneficial in dealing with authorities who may not be applying the law correctly. I would suggest a respectful and polite manner, combined with an accurate knowledge is very necessary if you choose to engage in those situations...
Better to avoid if possible...
