Trespass by a Health Inspector
This video has become topic of debate in another forum of which I am a member.
Is the lady within her rights? Did the cop not with hold the law by permitting her on the property or by allowing her to enter without consent, did he allow her to violate his rights?
I don't know much about the video, nor do I know the outcome. It is about 9 min long. Please veiw and share your thoughts based soley from what you see, not presume. Thats what our debate is-- only what is seen.
Who is in the righjt and is there basis for suit?

Re: Trespass by a Health Inspector
If I could count the times I've heard someone say that to me....
A health inspector generally enforces civil laws not criminal laws and therefore does not need a warrant to enter property, a complaint, or the mere fact that a person has a permitted (or permit requiring) facility (i.e. a septic tank) is reasonable cause. Having been there and done that, the health inspector brought the Sherrif not to inimidate but for protection of her person due to the gentleman having been his charming self the previous day. Don't know about her state but if I saw the condition of that fellow's property in the video, I would investigate too. Most states have "right to enter" clauses somewhere in the health and/or environmental codes.
