impermissibly
In prohibited fashion
Impermissibly means in a way that is not allowed or cannot be permitted.
The word appears most often in legal and regulatory contexts, where boundaries matter: The court found that police had impermissibly extended the traffic stop.
Something done impermissibly crosses a line—whether legal, ethical, or procedural.
