Is this based on the exchange between (alleged or reported?) Rita 
and Percy?

I always understood this to mean that the MOM do *not* hunt down 
vampires, and they a legal basis not to, which was about to be 
quoted by Percy. 

Rita's POV would be that the MOM should get on and sort out the law 
so they can do the right thing, as I understand it.

I guess my interpretation is in part based on my experience of UK 
tabloids, which usually have no compunction about urging the 
government to do illegal things, on the grounds that the law being 
so badly PC is the government's fault anyway.

David, who can't remember the POA references
