| "It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious look of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself--anything that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face...; was itself a punishable offense. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime...". - George Orwell, 1984, Book 1, Chapter 5 |
Big Brother - Talking street lights come to Detroit, Chicago and Pittsburgh
- The 1984 street lights give "instructions" to the common people from the Government Overlords.
- The lights can record your private conversations.
- Big Brother is funded with your tax dollars.
Talking surveillance cameras that bark orders at passers-by and can also record conversations are heading for U.S. streets, with manufacturer Illuminating Concepts announcing the progress of its ‘Intellistreets’ system.

Infowars reported last year that high tech street lights with “homeland security applications” were being installed in major U.S. cities.

The street lights also have loudspeakers that can give audible warnings to individuals, mimicking the talking surveillance cameras in the UK that shout out orders through microphones telling people to pick up litter or leave the area.
A recent press release put out by Amerlux announces the company’s partnership with Illuminating Concepts to further advance the rollout of ‘Intellistreets’. The announcement confirms that the street lights will have a number of “homeland security features” including a loudspeaker system that will be used to “engage captive audiences”.
“The built-in speaker can broadcast emergency information,” states the press release, adding, “SmartSite luminaires can be equipped with a variety of cameras and sensors to ensure real-time 24/7-security coverage. The sensors detect a variety of threats that enable rapid response from emergency personnel or help prevent crime and gain control of the streets.”
.
Not only can the street lights, now being rolled out in Detroit, Chicago and Pittsburgh with Department of Energy backing, act as surveillance cameras, Minority Report-style advertising hubs, and Homeland Security alert systems, they are “also capable of recording conversations,”according to a report by ABC 7.

Because we're all too stupid to cross the street safely, you know ...
I hate to say it, but maybe we are.
I believe the point of this post is not whether or not we are capable of crossing the street--but rather what the presence of these hi-tech lamps could mean in terms of being monitored and what kind of information may be gleaned from them and the impact on our privacy.
