I understand what you're saying but strongly disagree with the strategy. Telling the police you intend to do something that could be illegal is a truly terrible idea. Are you hoping they will testify in your defense as a character witness? Law enforcement is tasked with making arrests not facilitating security disclosures.

Maybe let's just agree to get a good lawyer first and follow their advice about who to talk to.

Yeah there is a pretty good chance that the police officer responds with a vague answer that implies everything is fine and then you unknowingly end up committing a crime by accident. The police isn't obligated to help you not break the law. It's only there to enforce it.
