Surveillance cameras disguised as street lights? How Orwellian:
"The RFP, dated June 8, 2012 and released by Public Intelligence on January 21, 2013, reveals that the "integrated wireless communication monitoring and control system" designed at first to remotely manage the city's future network of LED streetlights, could have many more troubling applications."
"While the RFP itself at first glance makes it seem as though the wireless network will be used to transmit street surveillance and other information captured by devices other than the LED streetlights, a report by Rebecca Browe of the San Francisco Bay Guardian makes it clear that the streetlights themselves will do the surveillance."
