Nearly half of electricians and gas engineers have been asked to tamper with meters in the last year, as people struggle with the cost of their energy bills, new research suggests.
Almost a third of tradespeople (30%) also say they have seen evidence of tampering in clients' homes, according to the survey.
Tampering with a meter means it doesn't read the correct amount of energy being used.
But anyone caught doing it can face a £30,000 fine and even risk losing their life.
Research from Direct Line business insurance found 43% of electricians and gas engineers have been asked by customers to tamper with their meters.

Grifters like Boris Johnson, who don't worry about energy prices, put the kibosh on cheap energy.
Eff you, English peasants.
How dare you tamper with OUR control of you
Please stop spamming every thread with this post. We get it already.

Prices are high in both countries because both our Deep States want it that way.
Their extermination of the niddle class continues apace.
You need to pay for the government-run propaganda service. But this is nothing new, it started in 1923 for radios.

“The BBC is authorised by the Communications Act 2003 to collect and enforce the TV licence fee. Section 363 of the Act makes it against the law to install or use a television receiver to watch or record any television programmes as they are being broadcast without a TV Licence. Section 365 of the same Act requires the payment of the TV licence fee to the BBC.”
That’s just a usage fee. Preferable to a tax.
Every time I hear of British TV licensing, I think of Monty Python’s Fish License sketch.
One time my electric meter stopped working for 2 or 3 years before they realized it, I enjoyed that free electricity.

(My Opinion) : When you consider that this last winter was milder in Europe than historical precedent, imagine the home owner response would be during a severe winter ?
Won’t be long before we start looking like third-world countries with power lines crisscrossing everywhere as people hook up to the power grid and steal electricity.
No written constitution.
No 1A and no 2A=Authoritarian rule.
Electricians tamper with meters
Knew one who placed a large magnet in front of the wheel to slow it down it worked but now they went digital not sure what trick they have now.
There are many videos and articles on hacking smart meters. Heck, one guy used a Flipper Zero device and got into his. Showed him all kinds of stuff, but he didn't alter anything. Just got it to show him all kinds of data.
Good info thanks
Everytime a smart meter is installed the bill goes UP for electric, gas, water.
Funny how that works out.
Yes, in a real world, complete with jounalistic integrity,
we would have full knowledge about the production of energy.
But when we have government leaders who lack depth of knowledge, like AOC and others,
who believe that electricity comes from a wall, that information is withheld through ignorance.
Don't forget that the media and television networks address the amount of information to a 6th grade education.
Mediocrity in education breeds ignorance of the populace .
I blame all the political parties for compliance to allowing ignorance on energy matters,
and given that this is a national security issue, they should all be replaced.
