is this because it's illegal to work without a permit [edit: no, not needed for 90 days for americans]? or is it just detectives that cannot work there? or is it that they claimed to be local policemen?
if i were a market analyst who flew to iceland (private plane or not - what has that got to do with it?) to study local opinions on some new product, say, would that get a similar reaction? would it be ok as long as i didn't ask to speak to govt officials?
is there some kind of international convention / agreement that says that policemen don't work abroad? is it that the request for cooperation was at too low a level? [edit: ok, i added this just as it was suggested in a reply; thanks]
i'm having a hard time understanding what the problem was here from the article, which seems to assume that something was obviously wrong.
