Comments
In Home Inspections without a reason...Please this is ridiculous...
Stay out of my House unless you have a just cause and a reason to get a warrant to enter.....
This is a fairly disturbing bill. Inspection warrants are fine for commercial or industrial, but *never* for residential. That's state invasion of privacy, pure and simple.
