I'm of two minds on this.
On one hand, there's the idea that the players are willfully disengaging from the challenges of the game, like Call of Cthulhu players abandoning the investigation to drive to Florida and fuck hookers.
Shrugging off the trouble and pawning it off on the local guards can be cheap.

And yet, sometimes it's fucking genius and a perfectly viable chess move, I which case I fully would expect the GM to roll with it.
