Lets ask an active or retired LEO their opinion as to how it works.

Actually, you can. I do it all the time. When ever I test a system like the Fire Alarm system or any system for that matter that requires the shut down of the building, I have to arrange with and pay overtime to the city. They do require a 24 hr. notice and it is dependent on an inspector who will volunteer for the overtime.

In your example it sounds like you are paying the city and the city is providing the inspector, therefore the inspector is "on duty", even though they are working overtime.
Technically, I suppose you are correct. Just as a LEO would be considered "on duty" if he is acting in the capacity as an Officer. I do pay the the city the exact amount of overtime the inspector earns and he has to agree to work the overtime.

Re: Disarmed by uninformed officer

saw a breach of the peace, and acted within his right.

He did not see a breach of the peace......he did not act within his right.......if he is ignorant of the law, how can he enforce the law. He has a "duty"to be informed of the law. If he is too lazy to study then he needs to be in another profession. He needs retraining at the very least. He is lucky his actions did not result in a tragic incident.
