Can you imagine a plumber having a moral obligation to search through your closet safe to find offending materials?

What if the plumber is repairing, say, your toilet and finds a bunch of unlawful pictures hidden in there?

What if you call a plumber to repair your hot water system, and the plumber then uses a drain inspection camera to search all your plumbing, and everything connected to it, for unlawful pictures?

This is more like a plumber finding a human bone in the pipes.

This is more like the police paying plumbers if they find drugs in your house.

Maybe a plumber bringing his drug sniffing dog with him and having that do a search of the house...

This is more like a plumber being hired to fix the kitchen sink having a moral obligation to search the septic tank.
