What happens when a farmer sets some rules for the agriculture inspectors? Like making a video recording of the happening. Requiring the inspector to fill out a form. Learning the reasons for the inspection. The inspectors aren't pleased.

Someone had posted a Civil Servant Questionnaire here on FR but I can’t find it. Sounds like it serves its purpose.

They pretty much shoot their credibility there.

Maybe it's "confidential" because it never existed...
