I don't mean the general instructions--there is no objection to those--but the specific instructions. They are unnecessary, because the chain of command permits that to happen for operational reasons, as you've suggested, but it is inconsistent with the independence of police authority to put that in legislation. They've backed up that position with a significant legal argument, plus a legal opinion from an academic authority.
Have you considered that position? Do you think it is necessary to have a specific provision of that nature? Is there legitimacy to that concern about the independence of the MPCC or the provost marshal?
