That is far from neat. When everyones reaction is wtf is that, its not neat or workmanlike. Granted a red tag is not in order, but this looks like a handyman install.

If I was the Electrical inspector I would fail it and take him to the board with the pictures and site 110.12 and I'll bet they would Revoke his license for unprofessional conduct.

It's a sad day.
If this "vandalism" was inspected, it's just another example of how inspectors help to promote "quality" electricians.

Around here the meter can belongs to the PoCo they would never allow the SE to be ran out the top of the meter, all the services we install are either GRC on the building or EMT on a pole.
