No; indeed, I completely agree with you.
There's currently a regime in place that obliges prior authorization, as I mentioned to some of your colleagues, respecting damage to property and authorizing a non-police member to make use of these provisions. There we require prior authorization, but also in the provision we say that in certain cases or situations of the kind you mentioned--urgency, saving a life, not compromising the identity of an undercover police officer, for example--you don't need prior written authorization if you're a police officer.
The recommendation I'll be making is in part already in the legislation, and the legislation already has the exceptions that I think would address your concern. Moreover, in terms of the practicalities, the RCMP testified, as I understand it, that they were using prior written authorization to support every act, as I would recommend, and I'm sure that they're providing exceptional circumstances as well.
