The person in the black boots is my mother, the lady standing near the edge of the bulk tank is the one inspector. Dave is the one lifting the lid.
I am not sure if you could do that, but I am sure you could for your own personal benefit, to see if anyone has been in the tank since you were there. But thats where the camera comes in handy.
The tank is not supposed to be looked into like he did, regardless of showing where to clean etc etc. I called an inspector who is not part of Ag and Markets. He inspects for those who pick me up, he works with state inspectors as well and is knowledgeable about the rules etc. He said that while milk is in the tank, the lid is not to be lifted, and the stick is not to be removed (Dave Smith did that, and then stuck his fingers in there too). The only ones who can do that are the drivers. While taking a sample, they reach through one of the 3 ports (on this tank there are three, not all have 3). They also do this to take their temperature reading. Once they take that sample, the milk is theirs (milk company). They then can lift the lid, do what they want, because the weight, temp, and sample are taken. They then pump out the milk. If anyone ever watches a milk truck driver. They never hook the hose on the tank before they take a sample, temp, and weight reading. They do this right before they pump it out. So any contamination they do, no longer matters, because its theirs. Not only that, they aren't testing for pathogens that can ride along on someone, anywhere.
