Good catch.
What sucks is how close he came to p!ssing that cop off and getting himself thrown in the hoosegow. The b-otch has reason to fear the public - she brings it down on herself.
Whew! Overly broad and vague. From the tape you could make the case the Inspector did not properly present credentials nor cite any statute or authority for her action. "Julie W"? Really.
I might remind you the BTK killer was a "code compliance" enforcement agent who literally measured the height of suburban lawns to ensure they did not exceed the regulated height.
Best regards,
What you’ve quoted is not a statute, but rather an administrative regulation. In Indiana, as elsewhere in the US, an administrative warrant is required before a government inspector may enter onto property over the explicit objection of the occupier.
