There is not a single instance where a life has been saved through this bureaucracy.
If people within the system want to make work for themselves fine. Making up reasons for it on the basis of 'assisting the police' and other entirely spurious reasons is symptomatic of why GA in the UK is becoming unsustainable as a transport option.
Leaning on rules which in themselves have no real value is why we need a serious simplification and evidence basis for them - not simply 'I think this might be a good idea and if the postman/police/customs/whoever needs an address I could give it to him'.
This whole thing is similar to and even less useful than the now no longer required fire cover for training during ppls,,which again was proven to have never saved a life - but cost us all a significant amount of money (oh and kept people 'within the system' in work!).
