Can we like do something to avoid these acts of stupidity or is in inevitable?

Gee, why would you need a death certificate? they could have checked it themselves

They don't have to do any of the sort. They look for reasons to send someone to jail and/or threaten to send them if you don't show up.

Wasn't the last fiasco over a cat? and then theres the German police officers who arrested an owl (and they say they have no sense of humour)

You'd like to think so. Their competence and compassion is breathtaking.

I'm getting happier by the moment to live in a country without jury-duty.

Bureaucracy at its best
