Docker IDs are hexadecimal so that one is invalid. Sorry Met!
That sounds like a you problem, failure to comply will result in forfeiture and imprisonment…

I wouldn’t put it past them… capriciousness in UK policing is a feature not a bug.

I'm gonna be doubly pedantic - that wasn't the container id, that was the actual container name. As a name, it is valid.
I actually did think of that so that's definitely the best kind of correct!
