Who in their right mind would legislate against that?
Read BRIXMIS by Tony Geraghty. There's a section in there about the recovery of the radar from a Yak-28 'Firebar' that crashed into a West Berlin lake that was in the British sector. The pilot had been refused permission to eject after realising he was in trouble.
