This inspecter in dallas really surprises me
because I have worked in Dallas my intire life and have yet to see an inspector with a screw driver! However, the way this problem is solved in most cities is to either have the power off and the panel cover removed when the inspector arrives on site or if the power must remain on then a licensed electrician must be on ite to remove the cover. As an inspector I would never touch ANYTHING live. Just put a red tag on it and come back tomorrow.
