I’ve done thousands of inspections in RI and now in Florida. Some carriers send a letter letting you know someone will be calling, some don’t. As I said, call your agent to confirm. That’s what I always tell anyone who seems hesitant. Also the inspector will have credentials and paperwork showing you carrier, agent, and info on home. A “scammer” won’t have all that, lol.

I guess it’s why didn’t the insurance company notify me first. When someone calls me out of the blue and says they want to enter my home, it’s suspect.

I have no problem complying. My issue, I guess, is transparency and communication with the insurance company.

I’m an inspector and I never understand the “it’s a scam” thing. A scam, by definition has to have a part where the scammer gets something from the act. An insurance inspection is someone taking photos and looking at your electric panel, furnace, and hot water heater. Where does the scam come in?

Most people who own houses realize insurance companies inspect their homes. Even if you never had one before, you will eventually get a call. The carrier wants info and photos in the file in case there is a claim. It also protects the homeowner if there is a claim, since there will be photographic proof of what the home looked like before the fire, flood, or whatever.

If you have doubts, call your agent. And if you refuse, you will get a letter telling you to comply or get dropped.

The OP wasn't thorough with this article.

The teacher is resigning but the investigation did not prove wrongdoing. The town has many turned every accusation into a witch hunt.

This teacher was NOT found guilty and the district seems stuck between a rock and a hard place because of the AT situation and several in the community issuing threats against the teacher and school.

Either a settlement was given to the teacher or the teacher is going to sue the shit out of the town in the near future because of the local idiots.

Fane locked it and the adjacent parcel down just as things were starting to happen in the area. Since then, many things have been built and this parcel just sits there. Partially because of the fight about it, but also because it's not affordable. I predict we'll see Fane asking for another $25M from the state to help get it started. And costs will be cut in construction. It never was and still isn't feasible. If Fane had never proposed something so ludricrous, those two parcels would already be built out and we'd have some nice amenities for the park.

$85 ticket for display of plates violation. Luckily when this happened to me they threw out the ticket when I put the plate covers in the recycling at the police station. Cited the penal code. Omitted point A because that's about registration tags

§ 31-3-18 Display of plates – Penalties:

(b) Every registration plate shall at all times be securely fastened in a horizontal position to the vehicle for which it is issued so as to prevent the plate from swinging at a height of not less than twelve inches (12") from the ground, measuring from the bottom of the plate; in a place and position to be clearly visible and shall be maintained free from foreign materials and in a condition to be clearly legible.
