The police can park a helicopter over a house and scan infrared to see if the grow operation is producing a heat signature that they can get a search warrant on. What about people working out of apartments where it's unclear which tenant is responsible? How does a regular meter show the hours the electricity is being used and by what amounts at all hours day and night over a long duration? How do the police read everybody's meters?
That account is a deliberate time waster and should have been banned a long time ago.
You think your electricity consumption is sensitive information?
How the fuck do you think you get billed every month? Where do you think your electricity comes from???
This just makes it easier for them to do their job.
You should be worried about actual surveillance.
Unless your using your own infrastructure and producing your own electricity, then this is not your data at all.
It’s like getting mad at the gas company for wanting a gas meter that uses gsm communication to let them know when you need a refill.
How DARE the gas company STEAL YOUR data!!!!!
Bunch of fucking morons on here apparently.
If it's a nothing burger why do the police want this info?
You know how some people have forethought, you should try that
The police want to know everybody's electricity usage.
For one thing, it identifies people who might be running grow lamps. Then they can see what it is they are growing.
They have other ways of doing this.
What’s that got to do with a smart meter?
They can do the same thing with a regular meter you fucking imbecile lol.
Seriously, you’re all a bunch of fucking morons…
Don't listen to u/iknowitsu

You want me banned because I don’t mindlessly eat your bullshit up like they do.
