Oh it must be so hard allowing a 10 minute inspection, the things we have to endure to have a FAL.
Not all people would lock their firearms away, just because you might doesn't mean the rest of the firearms community would, same with WOF and Reg on vehicles, if Police couldn't do spot checks then how many more people would ignore it and inevitably drive around with bald tires etc, how many more people would drink drive rather than call a taxi? Shitloads, that's why Police need the ability in some circumstances to perform spot checks, if it offends you then I suggest you grow a thicker skin as there are far worse things out there than a random check.
