Easy, fire all of them and get new, non-union inspectors. Its not an
invasion of privacy - its the public's dime and if they're not
spending their time as they should, well, they shouldn't have to worry
about carrying the phone anymore while they're in the unemployment
line.

It's one thing if it's used to double-check "Did this inspector go to all
the sites on his visit list?" - that you can do with GPS resolution down
to several hundred feet.  It's when you start using it to measure how much
time the guy spends in his office versus when he's down the hall in the
bathroom that it becomes an issue....
