It’s kind of irrelevant who the police officer worked for. In the end courts have to interpret the law and decided how a law is applied. Even if a law might not explicitly state the exact circumstances, the court may decided that the spirit of the law was broken. It’s of course a more difficult case to make for investigators, why law makers might then codify the law more precisely.
