How to bypass this thing?

[kirk33120]

Someone made a mini breaker(?) using only light switch and wire, they hook(?) it to the only power socket in my room and can basically control the power in my room. Cutting the power at 8:30PM Sunday to Thursday, Friday at 6PM or 5PM and 10:30PM at Saturday. Behind the wooden board(?) in Picture #2 there's the light switch that act as a breaker(?)
How does it work?
How to bypass it?

Is there anyone that would say they are responsible for safety in the building? Is this a house or something else?
I am not familiar with the rules where you live but I would be astonished if this complies as the white wire doesn't look as if it's designed for the job it's doing.
I'd suggest the right way forwards is to pursue the argument that this is unsafe, rather than trying to fix it yourself.

I just really want to get out of this guy control. I could just turn off the power of the house (while they're out, I already missed my chance.) using the breaker and cut the wire by myself and turn the breaker back on but the thing is I don't know what would happen, would the power socket in my room stay dead? or I'm free from this guy control.

Don't go cutting cables, it's not worth the risk to yourself or other people.

To be honest I think you need to seek help to overcome the bigger issues you have with your current living arrangements. Then things like the electrical issue will probably be easier to solve. Who do you have who you could speak to about this? If nobody is available to you then speak to your local council or citizen's advice bereau.

thanks man, I see now it's risky.

Cutting the cable is likely to leave you with no power to the socket but a live and dangerous cable end floating around.

I was planning like after cutting the cable, I would tape it(the black tape thingy that block electricity) around it several times and tape it to the wall behind my locker to avoid suspicion but it seems it's just gonna leave the power socket dead, so yeah.

Definitely not something you should do.

I have to agree with @DPG and as an electrical forum we don’t know how to handle this problem. Let’s hope with him out of your life and if you have a real electrical question we will be more than happy to answer your questions. Good luck.
