I am one to get angry when people think babies are abandoned in spring/summer and end up taking them from their parents, i assessed the situation as i have many times and if it had been morning time they would of been left out longer.
I understand what the law is there for etc as some people do take advantage of this, even if not on purpose.

I do understand what you mean; sometimes it is difficult to decide what to do for the best. I recently found a young magpie who appeared injured but I wasn't sure.
I went back & forth several times to check on him before deciding to take him home. Luckily I made the correct decision as he had a damaged wing. The receptionist at my local vets took him in after the vet treated him. When i spoke to her the other day she told me that he wa smaking good progress & had been moved to a large aviary. Hopefully he'll be released in a month or so. Good luck with your chicks!
