Dude, all you have to do is get the biggest camera you can find, walk outside in plain sight, and look like you're taking professional photos. If he asks just think of some B.S. thing beforehand like "I dunno I thought the way your car is parked it looks cool."

I just do not know if I am the only one seeing something very wrong with legislation making the AZ corporation pull their code scanners because we are not a licensed shop,when the customers do it themselves. Did freedom of choice go on vacation?

Exactly. That's the point of lending the tool so they could sell the part to fix it. Not the dumbest idea out there.
