Default Ungrounded GFCI with ground jumpered to neutral

In article , "John Gilmer" wrote:

The GFCI is connected as usual: the HOT wire from the power source goes to
the LINE side "HOT". the NEUTRAL wire from the power sources goes to the
LINE side "NEUTRAL."

What the electrician did was "fake" a ground by connecting the "LINE" side
neutral to the ground screw.


Code violation, right there.
