Stings are routine, like reflexes they don't require communicating with the head of the system. Anyway The Division has since learned that this device is already being evaluated for certification by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. This is not something I would really expect law enforcement agencies to be up-to-date on.

That's reasonable.

I suppose it just seems odd that someone would think to themselves "lets plan out how to ticket someone and then issue a cease and desist" without doing due diligence to ensure that they even need to do any of it.

Have you ever worked for an organization as large as the State of Massachusetts? That might be a useful bit of experience upon which to base your opinion.
