Every inspection has five cameras covering it

Cameras are there, sure, but is there someone going through all the hours of footage to ensure that no car that shouldn’t pass made it through? That’s a lot of cars. And you’re gonna have a good amount of cars and footage that pass because they can, where the shop looks like it’s carrying on normal. Maybe they could go back retroactively if they wanted, and find something, but I think to just expect that the camera actually prevents cars from being passed when they shouldn’t is naive.

Every one? No. Some? Yes. Is there enough of a chance of getting caught that it's worth risking your significant investment into being able to do inspections for a $20?

What do you think the cameras are intended for?
