He's a policeman - he's much too smart to do that. To stop the hunt
he'll get to the fox first, and hide it in his trousers.

They are allowed to shoot a fox and drag it through the countryside to
lay a trail for the pack to follow.

As far as I know, they can also go for a ride in the country with all
their hounds, but if they see a fox the hounds are to respect the law
and exercise restraint.

The law seems to be very badly drafted, and practically
unenforceable. Some hunts have said they will break the law, and are
finding out how far they can go, and what they can get away with.
