spot check

When the special master overseeing a city court-ordered agreement to provide thousands of homeless shelter beds made a spot check at a South Los Angeles shelter she was disappointed in what she found.

The BBC spent two hours with officers carrying out spot checks on gig economy workers including delivery drivers.

Better data and intelligence sharing between government and the police meant more employers were being caught breaking the rules, the Home Office said, where previously random spot checks were used.

Authorities have also launched roving patrols of trains, bus terminals and parks, where officials can conduct spot checks on members of the public and search their bags.

Sharony said her oversight role allowed her to drop in on juvenile facilities with just 48 hours notice to conduct spot checks and review conditions identified in a complaint.
