This morning, I threatened a government body with referral -- which I shall do, once I find the time. The problem was that they wanted to talk to me off-the-record, and I said no. Now it is important to note that one generally cannot throw around threats that go any further than this. Say that I say to someone, for argument's sake, "I'll have your car impounded!" There are two reasons why I cannot say this. a) Am I an authority on car impoundments? and b) am I really so sure it will happen? If a) or b) may not be true, I am making more than a threat -- I am intimidating someone, and I might be the one who is in trouble at the end of the day.
