<On the contrary, Nuremberg reminded us, nothing more, because the law was
already clear, pre 1945, that obeying an illegal order was no defence.
Every *soldier* is taught that; I am surprised that policemen don't know
it!>
What is an illegal order?
Something somebody else doesnt like?
Get real.

An illegal order is an order that violates the law. The example
I was given in training is that it is illegal to order a surbordinate
to disclose classified information to someone without the necessary
clearance, so be careful what you ask them to do!
I'm sure in times of war the examples are a bit more graphic.
