Code Violation

I recently did a walk through on a job someone else wired and was surprised at some of the things i saw. Now i know nobody is perfect but this is a clear violation here, we use the same staples as this and it clearly says for use with 1 or 2, 12-2 or 14-2 wires not 3. To top it off this place passed its inspection.








Here is another in the same building, this wire was a little less than 3/4" from the outside of the 2x4 . I guess someone wasn't paying attention when they inspected this place.
