?? If, by "junction box," you include an existing outlet, running an outlet from an existing outlet is done all the time! A thing called a "junction box" where you don't know what circuits are in it... well, it's a bad idea to take power from such a thing, since, for instance, it might have a dimmed switch leg in it. Could you explain a bit just what's illegal?
When you say "dropping a whip for a TV" you don't state whether this is from an existing outlet box or from a "junction box," which makes me ask the same question: what are you talking about that is illegal?
I didn't even read his post and I know this much...
He's comparing a "power bridge" (legal some places) to an unlicensed electrician adding a new outlet that they tie into a clients existing outlet. Illegal everywhere as far as I know. Then again...I only work near civilization. Not sure what they are doing in the holler.
