All the stations comment that the area is dark with no street lights due to restrictions and heavy fines for light pollution. I was in Tucson in the 70’s when these first came into effect. The main reason which has not been discussed is not just that they like the night darkness, but southwest of the city on the Indian reservation is Kitt Peak National Observatory where there are 20 optical telescopes and two radio telescopes. Optimal viewing requires dark skies.
I’m looking at perp walking into that space...looking down the walk behind him..looks like a mailbox at the end...then...to the right of that...is that a vehicle??
