I tried to get on 4ch.net to check their /pol/ and see if it was there but their site is down. We know it's from some anon on some chan somewhere so I don't think it matters that much if it was copied and pasted here vs the pic.

 

I just really want to know the timing.

We finally have a VICTORY on the smart meters!!!!!

 

Judges: Smart meters are 4th Amendment 'search'

 

Privacy and health activists long have raised opposition to smart meters – the technological wizards that monitor power usage in a home, sometimes on a minute-by-minute basis, and report it to the utility that owns them. And sometimes others.

 

Now an appeals court has affirmed that their readings constitute a “search” under the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment, which establishes “the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures.”

 

But the judges also found that the “search” that was done by the devices was “reasonable.”

 

Whether the judgment is rendered in future cases regarding the use of the meters, oftentimes mandated by the utility, remains to be seen.

 

In this case, it was the Naperville Smart Meter Awareness organization that sued Naperville, Illinois, over the meters required by the city-owned utility.

 

The Electronic Privacy Information Center said the meters “can reveal personal behavior patterns and enable real-time surveillance.”

 

The ruling from the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals found the “ever-accelerating pace of technological development carries serious privacy implications” and “smart meters are no exception.”

 

The court said the “searches” done by the meters are reasonable in light of the “cost reductions and service improvements” provided but suggested the conclusion may not be a final decision.

 

“Our conclusion could change” depending on how much data – and how frequently – the meters send data readings.

 

Or if law enforcement ever were given easier access.

>My parish priest preached a barn-burner today. Told us it's time to clean out the evil, and restore the Church. Also told us to contact our District Attorney to request that a criminal investigation / grand jury look into our archdiocese. He said it's up to us to make sure it happens!

 

Damn!!!!!
