It's just again the code or code violation.

There is illegal and then there is a code violation. Two

Turtle, you don't seem to understand. In any jurisdiction that
has adopted the
NEC, the Code *is* the law, and a violation of the Code *is* a
violation of
the law. You're trying to make a distinction that doesn't
exist, except in
those jurisdictions that haven't adopted the Code (or a
substitute).

My understanding is that where I live, you have to get a permit
for electrical changes. The changes will then be inspected. If
you don't get the permit, you are breaking the law.
