  Well, Sweden's kind of irrelevant to whether this is permitted in Iceland, and I think it was more the going there and snooping around. Also please read the options for contact with a witness - - Travel to the United Kingdom to make a statement - Statement at a British embassy - Statement by telephone or email The entire page you linked there was about formal and informal ways to make requests to law enforcement in other countries, and 'direct' contact still doesn't involve the cops actually going to the other country, just speaking to people who are in another country via one of these methods. --edit-- thanks for the link, that was informative reading --edit2-- All that said, even Brit cops do go to other countries for their investigations from time to time, just this week I heard about some going to Libya for continuing investigation into the Lockerbie bombing - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-21281173 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-south-scotland-2128117... Presumably this is with the full knowledge and cooperation of the (new) Libyan government though. I wonder what use it can possibly be after so long.
