But if it burned to the ground with fatalities and you were at their house the day before working on the panel, or had reason to open it, you would likely be involved in some legal matters.
Your example does sound a bit "out there" but I think that in some areas you can report violations and they will be investigated, especially where children or others that can not help themselves are involved.
I just think it's a very difficult situation to be in. If I saw something really wrong where I was working and it was easy to lessen the danger I would do it no matter what.
Example: Live wires exposed - I Cap them
But now, can I be liable somehow for not doing it totally legit? (putting them in a box w/cover?) Does anyone know?
