ADT and their bonehead installation policy

[aelectricalman]

I hate when I come back to a job that has been roughed-in and ADT has been there and ran their Low-Voltage alarm wires through my line voltage holes. My circuit feeds in the basement have ADT's wires strung through my holes like spagetti. Other than the fact that I can not stand it, is there anything wrong with doing this? Are there any code violations, harmonics, or just plain out low or line voltage interference. Thank you.

Code violations no, as the NM cable, MC Cable is a wiring method and not a conductor that requires seperation.
The house electrical won't be effected, but the alarm system may have induction.
if if was a telephone or data system, then is a very bad practice, due to induction, but not a violation.
