Is He Right or Wrong???

[Esco!]

Don't worry, Esco didn't take his meds this week.......

I have to stop mixing the blue pills with the white pills

The constant claim that she has "the right to go look at what was being done" is bullshit. Her refusal to identify herself properly looks kind of fishy to me.
And did she say she was a gov't employee? Shit in Canada half the fucking country are gov't employees, but does that mean that a guy who works for the city that operates a backhoe has the right to go see what you are doing?
Unless we have more background on what transpired we are all theorising, HOWEVER the "If you have nothing to hide..." line doesn't parse.
I have nothing to hide but I am not going to allow a gov't employee claiming "the right" to give me a colonoscopy just cause they have "the right to know" what is going on up there.

I agree

Well, in the video I saw, she held up her ID to the homeowner and to the camera. If that isn't identifying herself I don't know what is.....

BTW: a gov't employee who drives a backhoe for the city wouldn't give a rat's ass what you're doing......unless of course you're doing it where he has to drive his backhoe!! (btw: is a backhoe an sp that takes it up the bum???)

Well I couldn't read it, but he was saying that it didn't have her full name. When I did my Co-op with the City I had ID that said I was working for the city, but I sure as heck didn't have authority to tresspass freely.

<snip>This situation as many online are taken totally out of context and presented in a way that sells the story in a way that the author wants to sell it. Maybe there were extenuating circumstances that happened before and after the video was shot that gave the inspector reason to suspect something hazardous was happening?

<snip>I have to say that with all government agencies the "noticeable evidence of a crime being commited" rule applies (like a cop can't enter your property unless he suspects a crime is being commited). She probably had a complaint from a neighbour or had a history with the homeowner and was there to investigate.

You have to admit, from the video it certainly looked as if something was going on and could easily be seen from the road.

I definately agree with you that we probably don't have all the details, but if she had "noticable evidence of a crime being commited" why wouldn't she tell him when he asked, why didn't the cop back her up instead of waffling, and why did she wander all over the property without seeming to find anything too horrendous? Maybe she was looking for those WMDs Bush couldn't find in Iraq?

From what I saw it looked like he was doing some earthmoving and his house could use some fixing up, but that would be a building inspector's problem not Health department. Unless of course he was digging up a septic bed, but if that was the case why not state that when he asked for a reason?
