when they were going to put street lights in my neighborhood 2 friends, one sheriff and the other a city cop said stop them if you can because it will guarantee an increase in burglaries and stripped cars.
Crooks love street lights because they can operate without artificial light.
At my office which was in the ghetto on Saturday or Sunday morning there would be stripped cars under the street lights at each intersection.
I’ll call faulty reasoning... with light others can see what they are doing, take pictures, make phone call, defend their assets, positions etc etc. Crime prefers the dark cuzz then people can’t see what is going on as they hide and slink in the shadows.....
The punks do not like to get caught let alone seen/identified.
