I had one of the flaming assholes inspecting my shop. This one had the
ability to get the electric company to disconnect the service to my shop
until I passed his approval. I ran into a problem after he approved the
rough in and then nothing changed with the outside
box that he objected to upon final approval. Kept insisting that the power
company would have an issue. They came out and laughed, said no problem.
It didn't help, of course there was no admitting of any error on his part,
just more flames.
Cost me more money to fix it but his highness finally approved.

Most will work with you, good luck.

For people who have had to have inspections for permit work what are my
rights as a homeowner?

I'm having an inspector come out to examine some work I did recently in
the shop and am curious what my rights are as a citizen. Does the
inspector have the right to roam freely about my house looking for
problems and mistakes or is he/she constrained to just the task at hand?

The electrician who did the work made it sound like the inspector could
pretty much do whatever they wanted once inside - which makes me wonder
how that wouldn't violate my 4th amendment rights.

Sounds like common sense rules here.

Be polite, diplomatic, and accomodating and the inspection should be just
fine.
