Grabbing at straws here, but inspection "techs" are famous for not knowing how the emergency brake operates. Many times there have been incidents where the brake was set and the inspection ppl attempted to run the test!

Just a thought!

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm fairly certain that the parking brake was disengaged while he was running it. I watched him disengage it when he moved the car to the inspection bay.
