A friend of mine said she read in a paper that undercover inspectors can only give warnings and can't issue tickets.  Is this correct, or do I have to take it to court?

No, all "inspectors" can give fines, as long as they have their badge. For a while, about a year ago, there were some people going around posing as "inspectors". The only way to tell between a real "inspector" and a fake one is the badge.
