The Dark Side of Smart Meters

Every one needs to check your electric meter, especially if it has been

changed recently. If an FCC number appears on the face, you are under

surveillance. The smart meter transmits a constant stream of information to

the

power provider. This information includes when you are awake, when you

sleep and everything you do in between. It informs the provider constantly

about all activity in your house.

Smart Meters

Anyone who cares to buy the information transmitted by your meter may do

so. The police, insurance companies, actually anyone who comes to think

they must have an interest in what you are doing in the privacy of your home.

Since these meters are radio devices this amounts to warrantless

wiretapping. It is the ultimate surveillance system.

While these devices are installed with the false promise of reducing your

power bill, the truth will hit you full force when you open the first bill

you receive after installation of the smart meter. Your power bill will

have doubled, minimally, but more likely, quadrupled.

Here is a brief clip from the certified letter that you must send to the

power company, certified mail, prohibiting the installation of a smart meter

on your home or apartment:

8. It is possible for example, with analysis of certain “Smart Meterâ€

data, for unauthorized and distant parties to determine medical conditions,

sexual activities, physical locations of persons within the home, vacancy

patterns and personal information and habits of the occupants.

More than 15 million homes are already under total surveillance.

So what can you do to protect yourself from a surveillance free-for-all?

You copy and send this letter below, retrieved from minivanjack’s youtube

channel, as certifed legal copy of your refusal to allow the meter company

implied consent.

NOTICE OF NO CONSENT TO TRESPASS AND SURVEILLANCE, NOTICE OF LIABILITY

Dear (Energy Provider) and all agents, officers, employees, contractors

and interested parties,

If you intend to install a **Smart Meter** or any activity monitoring

device at the above address, you and all other parties are hereby denied

consent for installation and use of all such device on the above property and

installation and use of any activity monitoring device is hereby refused and

prohibited. Informed consent is legally required for installation of any

surveillance device and any device that will collect and transmit private and

personal data to undisclosed and unauthorized parties for undisclosed and

unauthorized purposes. Authorization for sharing of personal and private

information may only be given by the originator and subject of that

information. That authorization is hereby denied and refused with regard to the

above

property and all its occupants. **Smart Meters** violate the law and cause

endangerment to residents by the following factors:

1. They individually identify electrical devices inside the home and

record when they are operated causing invasion of privacy.

2. They monitor household activity and occupancy in violation of rights

and domestic security.

3. They transmit wireless signals which may be intercepted by unauthorized

and unknown parties. Those signals can be used to monitor behavior and

occupancy and they can be used by criminals to aid criminal activity against

the occupants.

4. Data about occupant’s daily habits and activities are collected,

recorded and stored in permanent databases which are accessed by parties not

authorized or invited to know and share that private data.

5. Those with access to the smart meter databases can review a permanent

history of household activities complete with calendar and time-of-day

metrics to gain a highly invasive and detailed view of the lives of the

occupants.

6. Those databases may be shared with, or fall into the hands of

criminals, blackmailers, law enforcement, private hackers of wireless

transmissions,

power company employees, and other unidentified parties who may act

against the interests of the occupants under metered surveillance.

7. **Smart Meters** are, by definition, surveillance devices which violate

Federal and State wiretapping laws by recording and storing databases of

private and personal activities and behaviors without the consent or knowledg

e of those people who are monitored.

8. It is possible for example, with analysis of certain **Smart Meter**

data, for unauthorized and distant parties to determine medical conditions,

sexual activities, physical locations of persons within the home, vacancy

patterns and personal information and habits of the occupants.

9. Your company has not adequately disclosed the particular recording and

transmission capabilities of the smart meter, or the extent of the data

that will be recorded, stored and shared, or the purposes to which the data

will and will not be put.

I forbid, refuse and deny consent of any installation and use of any

monitoring, eavesdropping, and surveillance devices on my property, my place of

residence and my place of occupancy. That applies to and includes **Smart

Meters** and activity monitoring devices of any and all kinds. Any attempt

to install any such device directed at me, other inhabitants, guests, my

property or residence will constitute trespass, stalking, wiretapping and

unlawful surveillance, all prohibited and punishable by law through criminal

and civil complaints. All persons, government agencies and private

organizations responsible for installing or operating monitoring devices

directed at

or recording my activities, which I have not specifically authorized in

writing, will be fully liable for any violations, intrusions, harm or negative

consequences caused or made possible by those devices whether those

negative consequences are justified by **law** or not..

This is legal notice. After this delivery the liabilities listed above may

not be denied or avoided by parties named and implied in this notice.

Notice to principal is notice to agent and notice to agent is notice to

principal. All rights reserved.
