I remember, back in the 1970s, one of my relatives had a close shave when he "tampered" with an electricity meter. Although it was inside his property, it could still be read from outside via a key-access door. Unfortunately, users of this meter soon discovered that by removing two securing wing-nuts, and dropping it forward - it stopped working! Everything was going like a dream, until he came back from the shops one day and found this message on a card slipped under his door: "Meter man called but your meter was out. It had better be in tomorrow!".

3 phase meters the common thing was to loosen the one wire link, so only 2 phases had a current flow in them, and thus it would under read consumption. Of course in older houses with overhead feeds the old favourite was to take a wood screw, and screw it through the live incoming DCC cable, in the roof, before the meter, and use that screw, along with a wire wrapped around it, to power the water heater and the stove circuit. Neutral left in the original position, so when it came time for the plumber to replace the water heater, and he turned off the power, in the days before there was a mandated disconnect right by the water heater tank, there would be a little bit of fun as either the live arced over to the water pipes, blowing the pole fuse, or the entire house floated up to mains voltage. Just had a meter replaced in the block, and the new prepayment meter now has it's own GPRS unit in it, which has a small antenna to provide a link to the metro, giving a power status message and also live power use, and they also have bypass detection in the meter itself.

That's a bit of a red herring. True, that's one reason, but the more over encompassing reason is smart meters offer more control by DNOs over the electrical system. For the right reasons, like meter tampering, but also for the wrong reasons, like giving an earful to electricians when they have no choice but to pull the main fuse and the meter yells to the DNOs, or the recent story bout British Gas. After the investigation of British Gas breaking into ppls homes to fit smart and prepaid meters, and for those who already have smart meters, have the meter switch modes remotely, even after the practice was discontinued, I suspect more ppl will take a stand on not having a smart meter in place, and stick with the old style meters for as long as they can.

Constructive dismissal is when you have no choice but to leave an employment. The Employer can effectively be held responsible for causing a person to leave. By the same mechanisms: is the son responsible for his mothers death, or did he feel - as a result of government policy and profiteering energy companies - he had no choice but to take action so his mother didn't freeze to death? The son is likely to be the one in court over this, but responsibility for this tragic event also lays with many others who will likely never face repercussions.

I wouldn't ever tamper with my meter (Not only because it's dangerous and wrong, but I get nervous enough just working with 3,5v Li-Ion batteries!) so as a vulnerable person my options have boiled down to cutting my energy consumption down to the lowest I can get away with. In short (Ooops! ⚡🙃) this means I'm now living on about 550wh/day. The standing charge, incidentally, is so high on my tariff (Because I can't have a „smart“ meter) that I'm being billed £2,85 in standing charges for every £1,- of electricity I consume... ⚡🇬🇧🤔 Now take into account that I live in an 80s vintage all-electric flat that receives no direct sunlight and gets abnormally cold in the winter, and I think it becomes quite apparent just what sort of appliances I'm having to avoid using just to keep my head above water... 💸⚠😣 *Edit:* Also, just noticed the thumbnail image for this video might give a bit too much detail given it's visible to those outside the trade like myself as well. Might want to drop the screws and come up with something a little less revealing, IMO. 😇

I accidentally broke the glass my old disc meter, the seals are still in place but the disc is exposed, am I likely to be charged for meter tampering? This is why I am reluctant to report it

..... Do you know Jesus Christ can set you free from sins and save you from hell today Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today Romans 6.23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus

One of the major reasons for someone to bypass a meter is because they’re on pre-payment and can’t afford to top up so are cut off! Less pre payment meters being fitted may well mean less tampering. Certainly more pre-payment meters won’t equal less!!!

So charging extremely expensive KW/h prices (may be the most expensive in the world) is legal but by passing that is illegal. One should always look objectively. If you find your citizens trying by pass meters may be you should look at the mirror as government and energy supliers WHY THIS IS HAPPENING? Ofcourse energy companies should make profits but in what volume? in UK since pandemic, oil, gas, and electric suppliers become the top profiting companies. Deadly measures ? People aint as stupid as you think they are, they will pay for electricians to do that kind of work. As well as i love some of your content, i absulutle hate you push Smart Meters and this kind of things like in this video, i bet electric companies paying you good money for these contents.
