I agree with you, in part.

City employees must limit the scope of their inspection to the legal mandate. In addition, they must be very professional as they are in your home, on your dollar, providing a service to you.

When they slip from that scope, their actions are unprofessional and open them up to a whole new world of problems.

Well put, well put. The example posed by a previous poster of an inspector clucking over a tenant's gun collection is an excellent example. There's no place for that sort of nannyism/mission creep in government or anywhere else.

(But I have to wonder - does this previous poster have a gun cabinet with a clear front (like I used to)? I have one pistol that is instantly accessible, but the rest of my weapons are locked up securely in a safe, out of sight. No inspector or anyone else for that matter would have ever seen them unless they were looking for them.)
