In NE our state electrical act says that the inspector will inspect the "rough in" with the walls open and who ever closes up the walls before the rough in will pay for the drywall to be removed for inspection and the reinstallation of the drywall. Those who try to play the game of going to court to hurry the job up get power removed untill the open wall inspection is done. All written into state law. Those who (anyone not just the sparky) wilfully violates the state electrical act can be charged with a class one misdemenor. Class one misdemenor has $1000.00 fine and/or 1 year in jail or both.

Now if only the DA would push it a little, a lot of generals/owners would quite screaming about the schedules so much.
