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 devices on the above property. 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” and digital 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 by those who’s activities were recorded.
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, corrupt 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 knowledge 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.
10. Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency energy contamination from smart meters exceeds allowable safe and healthful limits for domestic environments as determined by the EPA and other scientific programs.

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 occupants, my property or residence will constitute trespass, stalking, wiretapping and unlawful surveillance and endangerment of health and safety, 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 a fee of $100,000.00 for any violations, intrusions, harm or negative consequences caused or made possible by those devices whether those negative consequences are provided 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. Civil Servant immunities and protections do not apply to the installation of smart meters due to the criminal violations they represent.

Notice to principal is notice to agent and notice to agent is notice to principal. All rights reserved.

Signature

Our Constitution must be upheld.

by

In every state in every arena we are witnessing the demise of our constitution. The forced attachment of a spy device on our homes disguised as an “electric meter” is one of the final blows to our freedom. It represents the complete disregard for the peoples health and welfare.
We as a nation, as a people must find the strength to stand up and stand up now or be lost in a sea of tyranny having our free spirits and our freedoms silenced forever. Please see post for details.

The video below is not an endorsement for any candidate..It is a meaningful reminder of who we are and what this country stands for… In the words of John F Kennedy, Martin Luther King, George Washington and many more.

Let this message touch your heart and know your voice may be the one that tips the scales..We the people must stand up and let the truth be heard.  Be the beacon of light you were put here to be.

Thank you for watching and for your support and continued action.

Smart Meters – Big Brother of our day

Smart Meters – Big Brother of our day
Dr. Ileana Johnson Paugh
_______________________

The American Academy of Environmental Medicine advised on January 12,
2012 in a letter addressed to the Public Utilities Commission of the
State of California that they opposed “the installation of wireless
smart meters in homes and schools based on a scientific assessment of
the current medical literature. Chronic exposure to wireless
radiofrequency radiation is a preventable environmental hazard that is
sufficiently well documented to warrant immediate preventative public
health action.”

“Exposure to levels of radio frequency RF (3KHz-300GHz) and extremely
low frequency ELF (300Hz) produced by smart meters warrants immediate
and complete moratorium on their use and deployment until further
study.”

The FCC guidelines that deem smart meters safe are obsolete because
they study only “thermal tissue damage and overlook genetic and
cellular effects, hormonal effects, male fertility, blood/brain
barrier damage, and increased risk of certain types of cancer from RF
and ELF levels similar to those emitted by smart meters.”

As each home becomes a “wireless telecommunications facility,”
children are particularly at risk for altered brain development,
impaired learning, and behavior.”

Current safety limits on pulsed RF are considered “not protective of
public health” by the Radiofrequency Interagency Working Group (FDA,
OSHA, EPA, FCC). Emissions of smart meters have been classified by
the World Health Organization International Agency for Research on
Cancer (IARC) as a possible human carcinogen.

The Congressional Research Service and its legislative attorneys
prepare reports for Congress on various issues. Two such reports were
issued on smart meters. “Smart Meter Data: Privacy and Cybersecurity”
was published on February 3, 2012 and “The Smart Grid and
Cybersecurity – Regulatory Policy and Issues” was published on June
15, 2011.

The writers agreed, “unforeseen consequences under federal law may
result from the installation of smart meters and the communications
technologies that accompany them.” In addition, the information
“generated from smart meters is a new frontier for police
investigations.”

The Fourth Amendment requires police to have probable cause to search
areas in which people have a reasonable expectation of privacy. Courts
deny protection to information a customer gives to a business as part
of their commercial relationship. Thus, police can access bank
records, phone, and traditional utility records through the “third
party doctrine.” Technology can erode an individual’s privacy even
more.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 gave stimulus money
to electric utilities to accelerate the deployment of smart meters to
millions of homes via the Department of Energy’s Smart Grid Investment
Grant Program. Developers thought that the old patchwork
infrastructure did not interface, was an arcane system of electricity
delivery, and had to be replaced by a nationwide system called the
Smart Grid that could be easily controlled and manipulated from a
central location.

Smart meter technology is part of the Advanced Metering Infrastructure
(AMI). It records near-real time data on electricity usage, it
transmits data to the Smart Grid, and it “receives communication from
Smart Grid such as real-time energy prices, or remote commands that
can alter a consumer’s electricity usage to facilitate demand
response.”

In case you misunderstand what demand response is, here is the
official definition. “Demand response is the reduction of the
consumption of electric energy by customers in response to an increase
in the price of electricity or heavy burdens on the system.” Notice
that the reduction in consumption is not defined as voluntary when
there is a heavy burden on the system, and it incorporates the promise
by the President that our electricity prices will skyrocket.

Smart meters are designed to decrease peak demand for electricity by
turning off electricity to customers by remote. Remotely controlled
thermostats will also turn off air conditioning units.

HVAC contractors are required to install programmable thermostats on
all systems in areas where city officials have inspection authority
created by city councils. Thermostats can be overridden by the smart
meter so that a home’s temperature can also be remotely controlled.
RFID tracking tags will be gradually installed in all items purchased,
including digital thermostats. Non-digital thermostats cannot be
tracked and will thus be banned.

The Department of Energy used the $4.5 billion stimulus to reimburse
up to 50 percent of smart grid investments, including the cost to
electric utilities of buying and installing smart meters. As of
September 2011, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) funded
7.2 million smart meters and partially 15.5 million. The Institute for
Electric Efficiency (IEE) expects 65 million smart meters in operation
by 2015.

The issues for those who generate, seek, or use the data recorded by
smart meters are varied.

Privacy of electronic communications
Data storage
Computer misuse
Foreign surveillance
Consumer protection
Cybersecurity
Hacking
Health issues
Higher energy costs for consumers
Solar flares
Electromagnetic pulse (EMP)

The myriad of legal entanglements cannot be predicted. According to
Richard J. Campbell, Specialist in Energy Policy, “It is unclear how
Fourth Amendment protection from unreasonable search and seizures
would apply to smart meter data, due to the lack of cases on this
issue.”

Smart meter technology measures usage as frequently as once every
minute, which appliances a consumer is using, what time of day, if a
residence is occupied, how many people reside there, if it’s occupied
by more people than usual, daily schedules, including times when they
are or away from home or asleep, if homes have alarm systems, if they
own expensive electronic equipment such as plasma TVs, if they use
certain types of medical equipment.” (Department of Energy)

Utility providers match data on electricity usage with “known
appliance load signatures” and daily schedules by observing when
residents use most electricity. U.S. v. Kyllo subpoenaed electricity
spreadsheet records because they suspected an indoor marijuana growing
operation. Imagine how much easier it would be today with smart
meters.

According to Jeffrey Carr, “Health insurance companies could determine
if a house uses certain medical devices and appliance manufacturers
could establish if a warranty has been violated.”

Smart meters collect and store data on names, service address, billing
information, networked appliances, meter IP address, transactional
records, and identity of the transmitter. Data is sent to the grid via
twisted–copper phone lines, cable lines, fiber optic cable, cellular,
satellite, microwave, WiMAX, power line carrier, and broadband over
power line. Wireless costs less but cybersecurity becomes a huge issue
because data is stored within the grid and within the physical world.

Smart meters can give police access to eating, sleeping, showering
habits, appliance use and when, TV use, and exercise equipment use
take place. Does this uphold the Fourth Amendment that the “right of
the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects,
against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated”?

Liberties in the Constitution apply only to actions by the state and
federal governments. Utilities can be privately owned, publicly owned,
federally operated, and non-profit cooperatives. Under “public records
theory, law enforcement can request smart meter data since public
records are not afforded Fourth Amendment protection. Law enforcement
access to state public records is unrestricted.” (Slobogin, Nilson v.
Layton City)

Each state has different rules on whether utility records are public
records. For example, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and North
Carolina consider a person’s utility records as public records.

“Third party doctrine,” words told to another person, informant,
agent, gave police access to documents in the past such as phone,
bank, cell phone, hotel records. Utility records were treated
similarly, leaving room for smart meter records abuse.

Hackers could easily capture data from the outside with a hand-held
device, sell the information to the highest bidder, or establish
patterns in order to rob the house.

A court warrant should be required to access the data but neither the
Supreme Court nor any lower federal court has ruled on the use of
smart meters.
Perhaps people should think twice before they accept the $100 check
offered by their utility companies in order to “save the planet” and
reduce electric bills

Utilities may sell or share data obtained from smart meters with
others in order to increase revenues. Utilities are monopolies and
customers cannot switch providers in order to avoid the invasion of
privacy. Electricity is a necessary component of modern life.

“Advancement of technology threatens to erode further the
constitutional protection of privacy.” Individuals face a higher risk
that activities inside their homes will be monitored by the
government. (Congressional Research Service)

Perhaps people should think twice before they accept the $100 check
offered by their utility companies in order to “save the planet” and
reduce electric bills. Ask the Californians who have filed a
class-action lawsuit against PG&E after smart meters were installed
and their electric bills have skyrocketed. Is a small $100 bribe meant
to help you or hurt you?

12 reasons to say NO to Smart Meters

12 reasons to say No to Smart Meters
Points of Information
Although this talks about Nevada, the same is true in every state.

We must push for an Opt In option..This is the only option that gives us protection of the US Constitution. See Article “Opt Out is not a win!”

1- The people of Las Vegas were not asked nor was anybody told the facts about smart meters. NVE did a very low profile introduction campaign bringing the smart meters into the neighborhoods of Las Vegas very quickly and without prior installation orientation or allowing choices whether to receive them or not. On Jan 11, 2012 the PUCN issued an Interim Order for Docket #11-10007 instructing NVE to “enhance its customer outreach efforts and provide better training to is installation vendor, Scope Services and NVE employees within 10 days or face administrative fines pursuant to NRS 703.380

2- The contract DE-OE0000205 for the 138 million NVE received is both from the DOE (31 USC 6304) and DOD (10 USC 2358) department of defense. Even though public comments in the form of a properly arranged exhibit was accepted by the PUCN, no response to why the DOD is a part of this contract has been received by the public to date.

3- NVE admits the meters do emit RF (Radio Frequency) radiation but they only claim for 5 seconds a day maximum.  Using an RF detection meter the RF 35C-W I found that they are emitting a much higher frequency of emissions and at least 5 times a minute.  That is 7,200 times a day your DNA is being hit by blasts of RF emissions.  As consumers we have a choice whether to use a hands free telephone, a microwave, a dish TV antenna or Wi-Fi in our homes or businesses.  However, we do not have a choice when it comes to the smart meters and this is an invasion of privacy, creating a vulnerability to adverse hacking and exposing us to health risks that we can not protect ourselves against.

4- The National Toxicity report to see if these metes are even safe for humans will not be complete until 2014 and yet NVE has already installed 650, 000 of these meters in Southern Nevada and is implementing their rollout in northern Nevada even as I write this. FCC standards do not exist for chronic long-term exposure to EMF or from multiple sources, and reported adverse health effects from electromagnetic pollution include sleep disorders, irritability, short term memory loss, headaches, anxiety, nausea, DNA breaks, abnormal cell growth, cancer, early fatigue, etc.  Because of untested technology, international scientists, environmental agencies, advocacy groups and doctors are calling for the use of caution in wireless technologies.

5- Concerns about the accuracy of smart meters have been raised nationwide, leading the Maryland Public Service Commission to deny permission on June 21, 2010 for the deployment of smart meters in that state.  The state of Hawaii Public Utility commission also recently declined to adopt a smart grid system in that state.  The CPUC currently has pending before it a petition from the City and County of San Francisco, and other municipalities, seeking to delay the implementation of smart meters until questions about their accuracy can be evaluated. There are 46 counties and cities in Ca that have placed a moratorium on the installation of smart meters until more research and accurate information about them can be obtained.

6 – NVE claims that smart meters will save money for NVE customers but in actuality will raise their monthly utility rate; some customers already reporting twice the amount of normal billing amounts. We know personally, 5 NVE customers whose utility bills were so high after smart meter replaced their old analog meter that they requested an immediate change out back to the analog meter.  At the last PUCN workshop I personally witnessed one customer who was billed over $12,000 after his smart meter was installed.

7- Smart meters that monitor the ebb and flow of electrical usage into our homes discloses detailed information about private details of our daily lives.  Energy usage data, measured moment by moment, allows the reconstruction of a household’s activities; when people wake up, when they come home, when they go on vacation, and even when they take a hot bath.  Smart meters represent a new form of technology that relays detailed hitherto confidential information reflecting the times and amounts of the use of electrical power without adequately protecting that data from being accessed by unauthorized persons or entities and as such pose an unreasonable intrusion of utility customer’s privacy rights and security interests.

8-The Attorney Generals office BCP (Bureau of Consumer Protection) filed a docket 2 Years ago # 10-02009 (July 28th, 2010) that stated the smart meter was intrusive and violated the 4th amendment of the constitution the Nevada Constitution and obliterated a persons right to privacy.  The BCP also filed 7 other concerns about the deployment of smart meters.  They included: Technological risks, Deployment and customer acceptance risks, customer behavior study risks, cyber security risks, consumer protection, cost and budget risks and benefit risks.

9- The citizens of NV have not been told the truth about the meters. The PUCN has NOT protected its citizens by forcing NVE to tell the truth. It appears no due diligence was done on the impact in the health, welfare or economics of the smart meter roll out.  The primary justification given for the smart meters program is the assertion that I will encourage customers to move some of their electricity usage from daytime to evening hours; however, NVE has conducted no actual pilot projects with smart meters to determine whether this assumption is in fact correct.  Non-transmitting time-of day meters are already available for customers who desire them, and enhanced customer education is a viable non-technological alternative to encourage electricity use time shifting. These meters give total control of your electrical use to NVE so they can turn off our appliances (including heat and cooling) remotely without our permission at anytime. NVE wants to do this through Home Area Network (HAN) so they can implement time of use pricing and energy use behavior modification from consumers through a program call O-Power.  Some engineers and energy conservation experts believe that the smart meters program—in totality—could well actually increase total electricity consumption and therefore the carbon footprint as well.

10- The FCC guidelines for RF emissions states that no one can have a device on there home that has more than one antenna. The Sensus smart meters deployed by NVE have 2 antennas and are a transmitting surveillance device. NVE has been exempt from the rule. FCC says that in order to transmit the two way communication of customer’s personal energy information, NVE must first obtain the customer’s written permission especially when it comes to the collection and possible resale of private information. NVE did not get anyone’s permission.

11- On December 28th in response to PUCN’s request NVE made 4 proposals for those customers who wished to “opt out” of the NVE smart meter program.  Unfortunately, all of the options will cost the customer big bucks to keep their analog or non-transmitting meter.  There will be an initial re-install fee of over $100 and an additional $15 monthly fee into perpetuity. Two of the options will either be an analog or digital non-transmitting meter and the other two options will still be collecting and transmitting our personal information. This needs to be an OPT IN situation for those who want the smart meter and those who don’t should be allowed to keep their old analog as the standard meter.  NVE wants the PUCN to change rule 16 allowing the Smart Meter to be the standard. This would be disastrous for consumers from both an economic and personal privacy/security standpoint.

12 – These meters give total control of your electrical use to NVE – they can turn off your appliances including your heat and cooling remotely without your permission at anytime. NVE wants (HAN) Home area network so they can implement time of use pricing and implement . NVE wants behavior modification from consumers.
