The statement still stands...If the people transporting the individual are not witnesses then where's the culpability ? If the due process of law has not been excercised how is one to know who's a criminal and who's not ?
I'm sure if the crew were fully cognisant then regardless of whether the individual had been subject to legal intervention or not they would have at least spoken to Ops ! Unless of course your implying it was the companies intention to transport the individual in the full knowledge of what had transpired.
This wasn't in a Sandy place was it ?
