OK, lets try this:
A. The trailer is my property, I paid for it and I get to say how it is treated.
B. I am the customer that is buying a service. The inspector should treat me with some respect.
Personally I think you are confused over what is a service and what it means to comply with the law. If the inspection was a service you could direct what is to be done, etc. and not have whatever done and the only consequences are you don't get the service. When you take a vehicle in for a state inspection you are not in control of what is going to be done if you want to get what you are asking for. Now if you don't like the way this place performs their inspections then your only option is to go somewhere else that you are happy with.
As far as the respect part goes you are conducting basically a business transaction and if you let personalities get in the way then you only have yourself to blame for not getting the end result that is not in your control. Civility would be nice, but is IMO not a prerequisite for getting a state inspection done.
I think you would be better served to approach this as wanting to get something (i.e. state inspection) and either accept whatever the business YOU CHOSE to perform that inspection wants to do or choose another business to you liking, but complaining serves no purpose and you're trying to make that proverbial pig not only sing but fly at the same time :W
