Oh i see. but companies still have to follow the laws of the land (or else protestors would be shot on sight). i cant compare the electric company to an actual country, thats apples and oranges as they have completely different laws to follow as well as different governing bodies. Israel can spy on there own citizens as easy as 123 for sure. but beyond that, i think it depends more on if they get caught.No the private companies have programmed algorithms that measure usage and MHz. From how I understand it. The main reason they 'claim' is it helps save power. What it really does is allow the electrical company to control the flow of power that you consume. I also don't like how even after they install one your bill never actually goes down. They can tell what is on and how much power is being pulled by that individual device. The 4th amendment I believe only applies to the gov't and law. If the companies are guilty of a crime it's under a different term. The same reason Israel can spy on ANY american without cause, where as the US govt needs to jump through a bunch of hoops.
but omg off topic, i really dont care about any of that. just because your running HID lights cant be enough to kick in your door though. i mean, you could have a legal herb garden or vegetables or something, no?
