Here is our first post, from one of our many intelligent readers named Sam!
“James, WTF! I just saw this….."
Wow, as for the Baltimore City Health Inspectors, they post warnings, issue a sign off sheet to the manager on duty, educate the department manager or janitor, leave a card, and promise to return soon, and when they do, if things are still messed up, they will start applying pressure through citations. It takes at least three visits for things such as rat carcasses to shut a front door. It very rarely happens. This is BS. The fact is that the Baltimore Pigs must keep their hands off the black federal pets, so they are zeroing in on whites and Latinos.
They probably raided the place because this bar owner doesn’t realize he is supposed to feed and water them for free at lunch, and has not bought into the BPD Protection Racket.
Thanks, Sam.
This was definitely a hit job on the owner or retaliation for someone he is affiliated with. The health and housing codes do not allow you to shut down a bldg for lacking hot water unless it is a commercial cooking establishment and they have been warned ahead of time.
However housing and health inspectors have been used to circumvent warrant searches due to the nature of our jobs and laws that allow us to perform random inspections.
I'm not saying I/or they did, but I know of situations where inspectors have been used to get into drug houses, political enemies establishments, and other assorted targets where they convienantly have police backup for their "safety" who happen to find something.
In the supermarket business, I have worked for two kinds of companies where health inspections where concerned:
1. The honest independents who get inspected every month, and the chains, who never see a Baltimore City or County health inspector unless an employee calls with a specific complaint backed up with detailed tips on locating the problem. Most of these inspectors are trained for restaurant inspection and do not even know how perishable food is packaged and dated, or how display cases and shelving are put together.
2. Chains. Having never seen a health inspector or inspection notices in any of the chains I worked in, I eventually asked a store manager, who trusted me to keep my mouth shut—and I did—about this and he said, "Who do you think the boss is playing golf with on Friday afternoons, peckerwood?"
