First, this is a serious question. Please only reply if you are well informed of the matters detailed below.
Is the Secret Intelligence Service (AKA MI6/5) the 'highest ranking' establishment in terms of UK government Intelligence agencies?
Can operatives of such organisations make their way, uninvited (without prior appointment), on to a crime scene on UK soil with a flash of the badge, as is seen on TV?
For instance if I was an MI5 operative who wanted to check on the identity of a murder victim at the scene of a crime (assuming word travels fast), could I just turn up unannounced, flash my badge at the polic,e officer on guard duty with a line like 'Official Secret Service business,', and be whisked through?
I am only asking as I am curious about how these things work in real life, I apologise if I have got any facts wrong or have given a bad example to back up my question.
Thanks for all inofrmed answers.
