So, what you're saying is that if you ask permission from a law
enforcement officer to do something, s/he approves it, then turns around
and arrests you for it, that's okay?

Actually, that is the way our legal system currently works. Especially when
you ask permission to do something that the authority being asked doesn't
have the right to grant.

When You call the IRS for advice, and what they tell you is wrong, they
still stick you for the back taxes.

We have that going on right now with the BATFE. Ask the same question of 3
agents, and you will get 5 different answers. Possibley ALL wrong. And still
get cited when agent 4 comes along and disagrees with all of them. That's
why we're in court, to get a judge to rule.

This situation is no different. The board was asked to allow members to
violate the NAR Safety Code. They said OK when they shouldn't. They didn't
have the authority to make that decision. The NAR Bylaws still say that
members can't fly uncertified motors. Those members pledged to follow that
rule when they joined.
