The way the LOTFAP apparently sees is is that want to see if you would have got off the same way if the offence had been committed on their turf - and base their decision accordingly.
I try and steer clear of the LOTFAP for this very reason, namely their claim to be the bastion of freedom yet practising the exact opposite, I go there only when I absolutely have to (like in early May, I trip I can't avoid).
