Unfortunately the rest can't be said enough as evidenced by some posts in this thread.
Sometimes illegal, or even work done not per code or even a professional standard can have consequences far beyond a fine from the government. There are no code police running around randomly inspecting electrical panels, so someone could easily get away with taking the cheap way out and never get caught. Unfortunately people who do it this way put their family and other people's family members (linemen to name one) at risk. Not worth it in my humble opinion.
