Sara, we seem to be talking at cross purposes. I was answering the OP’s question about what happens when overseas law enforcement knocks on the door of the NCC (or some other registry). To answer your question, law enforcement obviously wouldn’t or shouldn’t send an MLAT request to the wrong jurisdiction. Just like they wouldn’t submit an extradition request (say) to the wrong court. That’s common sense.
