A lot of the inspectors knew where to get their free dope, sex and other goodies. Nothing new here...it’s typical for all city code inspection units.

I opened a shop in Corpus Christi, Texas and an inspector failed me for an electrical box that I used to test welding machines. I was lucky, I knew an individual that worked for an industrial electrical company and he was a mutual friend. He arranged to meet me, the inspector and himself at my place of business to “fix” the problem. When he arrived he gave the “inspector” a 500’ roll of heavy nylon rope and the inspector never came back into the building to inspect...instead...gave me the OK.

This is a single factual example but the practice is RAMPANT with ALL public safety inspection units across the country.

Who cares? The entire Bay Area, Sacramento and LA should, and needs to be cleansed with NUCLEAR FIRE.

Due to prevailing winds that would endanger nearby "good" states with fallout.
