I feel that this stupid bureaucrat, Randolph Tabb, exceeded his authority. Unfortunately, there is little consequences for that. He might just claim: "I am only doing my job". Right
Somewhere, the line needs to be drawn with politicians and bureaucrats that go too far. Our UK readers all too well have their own dilemma, with innocent people still being added to a DNA database, because to police are "still waiting for clarification" of a ruling that told them to stop that practice (of people NOT convicted of a crime).
IMHO, there have to be consequences for these people who exceed their authority, and the punishment meted out needs to be severe. Like this guy Tabb, I think that he should have his fingers whacked by a hardwood baton (aka 'nightstick'). One way to make sure he "gets the message".
