What do you believe is 'damaging' and what would an English court see as 'damaging'? Disclosure to those, outside of the MoD, of difficulties with the UK's MPA fleet?

Are you a lawyer Mike Rotch? I ask because perhaps you may be able to help us. Is it not a citizen's duty to report a crime? If in reporting that crime one commits a further crime under the catch-all OSA, should one still proceed? What is your learned advice? If the law requires that you report the crime to the very organisation responsible for the crime, does that not make the law an ass? Would that not be 'damaging' to the status of the law, and of the politicians that enact such laws? Would such a prosecution under the OSA appear mean and vindictive under the glaring publicity that it would attract, at home and abroad?
You decide.
