On this subject, one of these days, I will tell you how I once...
No, strike that. I will "put a case" to you (to paraphrase the lawyer Jaggers in Great Expectations) but admit nothing, about how a certain producer-director working in television once filmed a car chase on public roads in south west England without any permits, police permission, insurance, etc, etc. Put the case that this producer-director was asked by their boss, who wanted the scene as part of a documentary about a novel (recreating a key scene in the novel), whether this was possible to achieve on a very small budget. Put the case that the producer-director in question initially said no. Then, after careful pondering, wanting to please their boss, recklessly said yes, on the proviso that said boss (who also had a mile wide reckless streak) did not ask how the producer-director managed to achieve the desired results, and that they would be "going dark", ignoring all emails, calls, or other communications.
Put the case that the producer-director then assembled a reckless and willing group of other individuals, all of whom were up for the challenge, and instructed them to ignore all emails and other devices. Put the case that this was to ensure those involved had deniability from all HR denizens that the producer-director knew would inevitably protest once news of this hare-brained scheme leaked out once invoices for hired sports cars and the like were scrutinised by the finance department.
Put the case that, for two very challenging but exciting days, the car chase was filmed, violating a number of laws, but with actually pretty damn good improvised safety procedures in place. Put the case that the footage and final edit turned out brilliantly. But also put the case that when everyone finally turned their phones back on, they were greeted with a furious deluge of HR emails and other furious wrath from the legal department. Also, put the case that because the producer-director's boss was the co-founder of the television station in question, the producer-director's relationship with this individual enabled him to get away with saying: "Sorry, we didn't see your emails, and we've finished filming now."
