I expect the responses being made are in good humor, and I admit that I am getting a chuckle from of them.
The truth is there are many( this is my town type of inspectors) ( especially in small towns as I am.)
I doubt that anyone who has been involved with me, would pin that title on me, because of this forum, I seem to be able to stay out of trouble.
The fact is it the EC or electrician that permits this to happen, by not insisting on the right for written reports of violations is permitting Mr my town inspector to get away with it, so everyone must be happy with the system.
Just MHO
Merry Christmas
