Haha, I think that whole Cave Clan (I think?) awards thread almost turned into a hot or not thread...it seems like there was enough players for the game if you made it official

| | | Suggestion and Tip DO act like you're helping if you dress up authoritative, don't try to push people around. People'll be much more cooperative if you're doing them a favour. If you're going with the clipboard idea, don't just have some lined/blank paper - you can download pdf copies of all sorts of actual forms. Be confident, be smart. DON'T imitate an authority figure that'll get you in even more trouble if you're caught. Aka, don't dress up like a cop, or pull out a fake badge.
The downside to dressing up like you belong somewhere, is that while it can fool most people, there's a good chance you won't be able to talk yourself away from a security guard or police. This creates more of a malicious intent than the "innocent photographer" excuse if they don't believe you're actually a building inspector.

Very true - if you go this route, once you're in, you're in and there's no turning back!

| | | This might sound a bit odd, but I wear a bright orange DPW coat from work when exploring old rail tunnels and stuff. On railroads, even abandoned, all the workers are gonna be wearing reflective clothing. When people see people in camo, they seem to get suspicious. Though FAR more visible in the coat, you look like you belong, and are far less likely to be questioned. I also wear a hardhat on most indoor explorations. I use the same procedures exploring as at work. If questioned, I show the close up logo, my work ID, and explain that since my normal "civilian" jacket is in the wash that I am wearing my work one. Thats not impersonating anyone. Even according to a cop in Jersey.

| | | A lot of this "in theory" talk sounds great, but in practice I've found it to be fairly flawed for a few reasons.
- Most people working in a company, especially in an industrial complex, are familiar with the people who work on each shift, as well as many of the people who work within the company.
- The unexpected arrival of an "official" is rare rare rare since the invention of a thing called the telephone. Most sites will be telephoned at the start of the shift and the site foreman/captain will be informed that a visit will take place.
- Surprise inspections rarely wash if you don't sign in or if you don't know what you're talking about.
The best method I've found seems to be to pose as a member of the local council/civic authority, and claim to be gathering data for some kind of new initiative. You have to make up the whole initiative, make up what kind of data you'll be gathering (making sure that the data gathering includes photographs and necessitates roaming the majority of the site), make sure it all checks out, and make up an excuse why nobody in the council phoned ahead to get permission. The likelihood is that they'll be pissed at the inconvenience, but will let you in anyway. Once you're in, stay away from them, let them get on with their work, don't ask for any favours or push your luck, and thank them sincerely for their patience, telling them you apologise for any inconvenience as you leave.

| | | Yeap fruitbat you make a bunch of good points. I've worked in large yards, and it's harder to wonder around than many might think. You have the dreaded Shift Super, and the god the yard, the Yard Super, or their equivalents. They are pros at spotting things that don't belong, and lolligaggers. They will walk right up to you, ask your name, where your stationed, your super's name and WHAT are you doing. Your not going to BS them very easily. Believe or not most construction workers do know there coworkers, and "rats" are never welcomed. In fact inspectors draw attention from the higher ups at the site, and they know them. Imagine that.
Just when I thought I was out... they pulled me back in. |
