No warrant, no search, period. I used to work with Texas Child Protective, and nobody except a weirdo lasts over 18 months because the real child abuse is so sickening that normal good hearted people can't stand to be so close to it very long. You, sir, are not the sort I would think is an abuser, and I have had to deal with about twenty of them in an official capacity.

If the guy wanted to do a real inspection he would bring and use his own camera. Since he has no camera, he can only report a subjective interpretation, his opinion in other words. I don't want any low-pay “public servant” making a subjective report of my domicile. They can report “smells” and what defense is there against someone who claims a bad smell? He can claim dirt, unwashed clothes, muddy shoes, too many or too few diapers, the wrong kind of food, not enough food, and all kinds of subjective reporting designd to put parents under their control. The worst witness in the world is an eyewitness, look it up anywhere and then never put yourself in a position where some “eyewitness” has power to testify against you - always have your own video backup.

This guy doesn't even seem to know the pretty bad history his own department has earned for itself; that right there disqualifies him from ever entering my private space.

HERE'S THE KICKER - the worker is already claiming you are acting bizarre, oddly, strange, somehow abnormal by using your camera. That is the kind of statement he will report:“Mr. A, upon my arrival, immediately began acting in a strange and unusual manner, exhibiting odd and paranoid behavior” He hinted or outright said at least three times that your behavior wasn't “normal”, as if he gets to decide what is normal or abnormal, which I'm sure he thinks is his right.

OK, the only proof you were friendly and normal, now, is your video. Understand?

The government has fifty people to your one or two; they have a million dollars for attorneys to your every one dollar. The guy already threatened you two or three times with the “Assistant Attorney General,” but I've got fifty bucks that says no Asst DA gave a ruling over the phone to this guy - he probably called a co-worker, maybe his boss, who told him to pull his head out of his ass.

He tried to coerce you into going to his power base - their office - and did not like working in your power base - your property, and on camera. Go back and note every instance of attempted coercion, you will be surprised at how many there were. Write a letter, use quotes that are on your video, and document every time he tried coercion, every time he said they were not there to cause problems or take the child. Give the letter to your lawyer and let him deal with this idiot. The idiot should have already been trained on the limits of his power, trained on the public's right to video in public, on their property.

His demeanor was condescending, he kept acting superior to you, he hinted that protecting your rights was almost a sure sign something was wrong with you, like maybe evidence of being a bad parent, because a “good parent” should let his office act like they are god and you are vermin.

Good luck, but watch out for this guy, he is a sneaky, dangerous creep who will lie cheat steal and stab in the back for revenge. Believe me, I know the type, I've seen this sort of low level “public servant” many times and they are not out to protect the public, they are very close to evil. He knows he has hit his $14 - $15 /hr top level, he'll never get a decent raise unless he goes back to college and gets a masters degree. His only satisfaction in his job is when he gets to exerciser power and control over people.

Finally, check near the end - the guy hesitated to shake your hand, he almost refused to shake, he really seemed to want to be that petty. Creep.

Keep your rights, be careful. This guy is scary wrong and on a power trip.
