Reporting Unlicensed Electricians? What are your thoughts? Do you belive it is none of your buisness or something you should up hold.I am on the fence about a guy, just feel like a jerk if i go and report it....Thoughts
Are you licensed, did you test for and pass the required exams, do you pay all the required insurances and bonds, do you pay all your federal, and state taxes, do you pay for a business permit?
O my opinion, if we approve of everyone breaking the laws, because they feel like it, then we can not expect anything but law breakers.
If your not another licensed EC, or an officer of the court, or an owner harmed by unlicensed work, then why would you get involved?
In my area many of the licensed EC's will report any unlicensed work they see, and i give them credit for trying to clean up things, remember we all pay when these snakes don't cary their fair share of fees and taxes, and fail to secure permits to protect the consumer.
