Dear Mr. Olivera, agents, officers, employees, contractors and interested parties: 

Be advised, you and all other parties are hereby denied consent for installation and use of any and all “Smart Meters” or any other surveillance and activity-monitoring device, or devices, at the above property.  Installation and use of any surveillance and activity-monitoring device that sends and/or receives communications technologically is hereby refused and prohibited.  Informal 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 of 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 occupants’ daily habits and/or 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 whose 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 interest 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 otherwise unknown parties to determine medical conditions, sexual activities, and physical locations of persons with the home, vacancy patters, and personal information and habits of 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 limit 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 surveillance 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/or unlawful surveillance and an endangerment of health and safety, all prohibited and punishable by law through criminal and civil complains.  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 alleged to be justified by “law” or not.

This is a 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.
