Please accept this as your official notice from this date forward of
my absolute refusal to allow the installation of a wireless Smart Meter
on my home or premises at full address
_______________________________________________________
Take
notice that B.C. Hydro, Corix Utilities and /or agents and assignees
thereof do not have my authorization, permission or consent to enter my
property, business or premises for the purpose of replacing my current
meter with a wireless Smart Meter.
Any attempt to install this
device on my property or residence will constitute trespass and a
violation of rights afforded to me as a citizen of Canada.
I
refuse your wireless Smart Meter on the grounds that it has the
capability of being a surveillance system, used by you or other parties,
which could violate my right to privacy.
Also: my fundamental
democratic right to protect my health from a possible carcinogen,
specifically radiofrequency electromagnetic fields emitted by your
wireless Smart Meter, supersedes any right you have to install a
wireless Smart Meter on my property.
You still have authorization to attend at my property for the purpose of reading the non-wireless meter manually.

NOTICE OF NO CONSENT TO TRESPASS, NOTICE OF NO CONSENT TO SURVEILLANCE, NOTICE OF LIABILITY
[* Date of letter]
Dear Mr. Cobb, B.C. Hydro and all agents, officers, employees, contractors and interested parties,
If you intend to install a wireless "Smart Meter" or any activity-monitoring device at [*address of occupant],
you and all other parties are hereby denied consent for installation
and use of all such devices 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 [*address of occupant] 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
occupants' 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 Provincial
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. 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, 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 or not those negative consequences are
justified by "law."
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.
