- got an answer back from that inspector's boss who spent 1-1/4 pages using a lot of words to say "my subordinate was full of shit. We evaluate the DEVICE, not the intentions of the owner."
So 2 different takes on something without any guidance for a citizen to know whether he just made himself into a felon. And when bossman retires, and the first inspector takes over... that's how "policy" changes, again without the citizen knowing it. The whole thing needs to be in a dumpster.

This without any doubt.
Bureaucrats creating policy/regulation/law without congressional oversight is tyranny in the making. Where is our representation in the ivory tower.
