Complainant says (his exact words) "I went to take a test. The examiner, who said he had 9 years of experience, said I failed. I told the examiner I would go to a private examiner with more experience then him to show his test was wrong. The county examiner said that private examiners are no good because they give you the exact results you pay for."
Many private examiners came from prior government service upon retirement. We will watch for this examiner's business to begin.
Government examiner's credibility took a hit not long ago when a major police department's examiner failed a gang member for the extreme beating of a Dodger baseball fan. A private examiner shortly later passed that same examinee-- and soon afterward the actual criminal was found.
