When the police arrived, X discovered that he had locked the municipal building inspector in the garage. Discuss the legal position of X and the building inspector.

Question 3. At a packed public meeting of town council, an irate taxpayer named Kilmer questioned the council repeatedly, at length and in detail, about a proposed new sewer system. Exasperated with Kilmer's domination of the questioner's microphone (but despite the audience's apparent contentment to let Kilmer ask questions), one of the councillors blurted: "Kilmer, you're an idiot. In fact, you come from a long line of idiots. Can't you see we don't have all the sewer answers yet? It's just the early stage of the planning process for this." Embarrassed, Kilmer left the room. If Kilmer approached you for advice, what would you offer?
