Street lights have become part of the surveillance and control grid.

You bet....And if more lighting made us safer, places like LA and Vegas would have little or no crime.

It’s actually kind of stupid to think lighting prevents crime, after all, the eyes of criminals work the same as everyone else.

That and most lighting is so badly designed or installed that it makes it harder to see in the dark.

Especially floodlights. The room temperature IQ types install them shining horizontally so that when you are approaching one you can’t see anything.

A criminal just has to stand under it or slightly behind to achieve complete invisibility while his target is perfectly lit.

The newer neighborhoods in Vegas have no stop signs or signals. They’re putting in roundabouts.
