Video at link showing him walking through the woman's house. One thing that bothers me is why was her door unlocked? That is so stupid!

[tgusa]

lucky he only got fired, didn’t take a load of buckshot to the chest. Idiot.

[bmwcyle]

he said he smelled something

Tuna?

[conservativehusker]

Makes you wonder how many times he has done this before where the homeowner DIDN’T have camera’s - without the video it would have been his word against hers.....

I suspect alcohol was involved. Beefy fellow looks like he enjoys his beer. Probably a six-pack per day habit.

A commenter on one news website said that a roommate left the door unlocked. Of course, the fired man’s stepdaughter commented that we don’t know the inside story of what REALLY happened.

What would you do if you found a burly county agent in your bedroom, demanding that you cut your grass?

Shoot him?

[henkster]

Kind of like when the cop claims the motorist “resisted” or became “belligerent” and the cop “had to use force to subdue them.” Then it turns out that the cop’s car camera “malfunctioned” and there is no tape of the incident.

Only when YOU capture it on camera does it actually show up. You can only count on government cameras working to capture Joe Citizen’s wrongdoings.

I’m going to go out on a limb here....

But I’m guessing he was union.

We have the video, so we know what really happened. What else could she been alluding to?

You stole my answer!

"I suspect alcohol was involved. "

Vowell's behavior appears to have been consonant with drunkeness.

Beefy fellow

He is as wide as the hallway.

“It was a violation of policy as it relates to entering a house without permission”

Not to mention criminal trespass.

[Red Badger]

Why is he not dead?...............

I guess she was tired of not getting anything good on her surveillance camera, so she increased the odds of walk-ins.

If that didn't work, her next plan was a sign that said, "No dogs, no guns, no locks."

I can’t think of a lower form of life than code enforcement agents. meter maids may not have evolved far from the primeval slime, but code enforcement agents devolved from it.

[Boogieman]

Reminds me of the BTK serial killer, who got a job as a compliance officer, and then used that position of power over others to get his kicks.

[from occupied ga]

Not to mention criminal trespass.

Government agents don't have to follow the LAWS that we do. They only have to follow "departmental guidelines and policies." That's why police can almost always get away with murder when if you or I did the same action we'd be in jail for 20 years.

Typical lefty.
