Chief Kurt stood up, pointing aggressively at the stage. "This is a classified police briefing! This is not a courtroom, and this is not a trial hearing! No matter who you are or what academy you represent, you cannot be in here!"
Balzac smiled, leaning back comfortably in the folding chair. "I am simply overlooking the discussion. I am here to take my student out of your custody. Furthermore, this does not look like an official judicial conference. It looks significantly more like a briefing where you are all just tossing theories around and playing detective.
So, my presence should not be an issue. No matter what you discuss or conclude in this room today, it will not provide any legal value or binding precedent to your supposed case against my student or other suspects."
