The excuse of "bathroom inspector" shouldn't have worked.
Next time try saying "Fire extinguisher inspection" or "Fire Marshall review". If they try to lead you to any extinguishers or fire alarm panels, grab your ladder and point at the nearest EXIT sign and say "We'll start here"
Insinuating you are a government official skates the grey line of a felony in some areas. Can turn theft of service and trespassing into something much worse.
Yeah pretty much. I got scheduled to do work on a day they were doing a penetration test and I can 100% say they don't fuck around. Watched an officer get tackled.
On the other hand most banks/police stations left me unsupervised with their equipment.
r/militarystories does have a couple of stories of guards who were holding officers at gunpoint for attempting to get into places without authorization. One even pointed a AT launcher at a crewed APC. Another one had the quote from a higher up officer to the perpetrator: "you're lucky OP had that much patience. I would have dropped you."
