You said, "Did you even read the policy you quoted in your post? It covers legitimate requests by law enforcement officers in exigent circumstances regarding public safety... without a court order. It's right there in the policy you quoted, which is why I have no problem with the policy."

I read it, but since it seems not to have applied in this case, so I assumed it did not apply. Had it applied we never would have heard of this. I think that's a reasonable assumption on my part.

You're not making sense. Why do you think it didn't apply? It did apply and the head librarian, the one in charge who makes these kinds of determinations, applied it. It took 10 minutes to determine that this was a legitimate law enforcement request and that it involved public safety in exigent circumstances. When that was determined to be the case, that part of the policy was applied. It's not the library's fault that their services were no longer needed after 10 minutes.

Had it applied we never would have heard of this. I think that's a reasonable assumption on my part.

That's not a reasonable assumption at all.
