    So Health Inspectors are not required to have search warrants?

    My view-and it may be wrong- is that she could not specify anything other than "there may be a violation". Is that reason enough for her unwarranted entry against property owners' wishes? I don't think so. She should have to show probable cause to a judge to obtain a warrant BEFORE entry.
    As for the cop, he witnessed a crime: her unwarranted entry. Yet, he does nothing. The cop said "if you have nothing to hide, let her look". I don't think it is a matter of having something to hide as the property owner said if she had a warrant, it is ok.
    Where does the right to not be subjected to unfair or unwarranted searches actually come into play? Do property owners really have rights?

    The lady was told the day before to get a warrant. She didn't. Instead, it became a scare tactic by bringing a cop, who can be heard explaining to the lady about trespassing and warrants. She proceded anyway. And the cop does nothing. Part of the debate is whether or not the cop becomes an accessory{sp?} to the crime by failing to stop her.

    I have to admit, the camera man is abit arrogant, of which I do not approve, but I thought he still had some kind of right to privacy on his own property.
    Z- A public health inspector doesn't need a warrant. They do need to give warning of intent to inspect. They don't need to tell you that your neighbors to the East complained of smelling dead bodies. They do need to tell you there has been a complaint made. Usually they attempt to call and give warning of a visit.

    Arrogant. That's what you call it? He sounds ignorant. BTW- isn't LiveLeak supposed to be funny or ridiculous videos? I didn't think it was supposed to be a news release.
