--- Comment #3 from Andrew Fuerste-Henry <andrew at bywatersolutions.com> ---
+1, this is confusing.

Currently in master:
If AllowFineOverride is off, then all staff see a message of "Checkouts are
BLOCKED because fine balance is OVER THE LIMIT" when looking at the checkout
tab of a patron over the fines limit. The behavior is great!

If AllowFineOverride is on, then all staff see the checkout box when looking at
the checkout tab of a patron over the fines limit. 
When a staff member who has force_checkout permission attempts a checkout, Koha
gives a confirmation message "Please confirm checkout
The patron has a debt of XXX" and the user picks Yes or no. 
When a staff member who does not have force_checkout permission attempts a
checkout, the checkout fails and the staff member gets a message of "Cannot
check out
The patron has a debt of XXX."

If AllowFineOverride is on and the staff member does not have force_checkout
permission, I think we should show them the same "Checkouts are BLOCKED because
fine balance is OVER THE LIMIT" as when the syspref is off.
