🧩 4️⃣ Corte ordena detener programa de vigilancia con medidores de electricidad en Sacramento.

Un juez de California decidió poner fin a un programa conjunto entre el servicio eléctrico SMUD y la policía que recolectaba datos granulares de consumo eléctrico (“smart meters”) de todos los clientes, sin sospecha individual.

La corte concluyó que ese monitoreo masivo violaba la ley estatal de privacidad, porque transformar el uso eléctrico en evidencia sin causa era una forma de vigilancia indiscriminada.

Wow. This is a good story, well told, Walker Orenstein.

“The fact that they can disconnect people just with the push of a button makes it a thousand times more efficient,” said George Shardlow, executive director of the Energy Cents Coalition, which advocates for low-income utility customers and helps Xcel administer bill-assistance programs.

What if every remote climate station could “think” about its own power health?

SMUD - an appropriate name for the electric company conducting surveillance for the police.

The $94 Million Smart Meter Surveillance Scheme Exposed

https://youtu.be/onYWQJsWFpk

Sacramento residents discovered their utility company has been secretly feeding their private energy data to police without warrants, leading to a massive surveillance operation that generated $94 million in fines. This explosive investigation reveals how SMUD transformed smart meters into government spy devices, monitoring when you shower, sleep, or use appliances.

Innocent homeowners faced armed police raids for using electricity to power medical equipment or mine cryptocurrency. One resident was forced outside in his underwear at gunpoint, while another disabled veteran was threatened with arrest for refusing warrantless entry. The surveillance threshold dropped dramatically from 7,000 to just 2,800 kilowatt hours per month, making air conditioning use suspicious in Sacramento's brutal heat.

Internal documents expose how SMUD analysts actively mined customer data for police, checking over 10,000 homes in a single month. Despite California law explicitly prohibiting utilities from sharing precise meter data without warrants, SMUD violated these protections daily for a decade.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation's lawsuit could reshape smart meter privacy nationwide. With the October 2025 court decision approaching, every American with a smart meter needs to understand how their utility company might be spying on them right now.

UK Smart meter data sharing proposal #privacy concerns

Neil Record, a former Bank of England economist & chairman of Net Zero Watch, warns this scheme could lead to extensive monitoring of household behaviour

“The public should be very wary of increasingly having their household #information provided to external agents. Once authorised, this #data could reveal far more about how people live than most are comfortable with.”

You know what’s better than that let you know when power is cheaper so you can adapt your usage? Government regulated affordable power prices so you can use electricity at any time of day, without having to think about whether it's cheaper or more expensive.

You're not supposed to live your life around the needs of your labour-saving devices. They are supposed to work around you.

Good ole #security through obscurity. That always ends well doesn't it?

Fascinating and concerning read as to what a national infrastructure provider fears (and possibly what stupid decisions were made in procurement of a national metering project).
