... in another instance, and this has happened twice so far, an rcmp officer has attended my personal residence with the electric company, claiming to be there to read my electricity meter ...

... these cops are absolutely clueless on the law -- and so is the electric company. it's illegal for the electric company to disclose any information about my electricity account to any third parties, including to the cops!

Perhaps you should read the law. For about a year now BC Hydro has been permitted to pass on info about excessive power use.
Considering also that you do not live in the same dimension as the rest of us the meter reader may have asked for protection.

I don't know that reading is the problem. Interpretation though is another story.

That would be my guess as well. Actually, you couldn't pay me enough to read that meter.

Being a cop does have its privileges though, take the arrest made in Merritt BC today.
RCMP in a local command position was suspended for stealing and using coke in the
evidence room. The senior officers at head office got a sniff of this story and now there
is a full investigation. Those conducting the investigation are calling for this officer to
be suspended without pay, and not be allowed access to the local police station.
BC is a hot bed for problems and it continues without a rest it seems. Police women are
coming forward with sexual offences taking place, and the list of complaints is too long
to mention. It is time to clean up the force.

Unfortunately, I think the R.C.M.P. attracts members of society with a "thug" mentality. :-(

She's a senior. That's highly unlikely

The problem is people with your mentality judge age vs. condition by the chronological age and in real life it just doesn't work that way these days, with so much awareness on how people CAN live healthy and extended lives. Most days I see many people, some in their 30s and 40s who are "old" and some in their 70s and even 80s who are still "young", agile and positive in their thoughts. Speaking for myself my physical age is about 20-25 years less than what my birth certificate says. Another problem you have is jumping to conclusions about people, based on your biased and ignorant approach to life. The biggest mistake one can make is to under estimate a person (unless of course they have an avatar like yours) :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Of course you would say something like that. You're a senior.

The pot calling the kettle black! :lol:

Hardly. You don't see me posting about how wise I am. A wise man doesn't need to do that. I personally believe that those that need to do that (people like you) have self esteem issues. Have you ever considered getting involved in some community projects or charities. It may do wonders for your self worth.

Ya never just never learned to read did you? People who feel the need to denigrate demographical groups have self esteem issue. :roll:
