OCTADESMUD - an appropriate name for the electric company conducting surveillance for the police.<br><br><b> The $94 Million Smart Meter Surveillance Scheme Exposed </b><br><br><a href="https://youtu.be/onYWQJsWFpk" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/onYWQJsWFpk</a><br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>The Electronic Frontier Foundation's lawsuit could reshape smart meter privacy nationwide.
