The Intellistreets system has developed these street light systems with multiple layers of capabilities, bringing the possibility of a 1984/Minority Report style future. With devices such as this the government will constantly be able to broadcast their messages to the people, almost in a 'big brother' style from 1984. The street lights will also have the ability to monitor the street traffic, bringing us closer to a completely integrated surveillance society if deployed on a mass scale. The system is receiving federal support, and will be installed in a Michigan city with federal grant money. In an imperfect world can you trust anyone with such power (the Nazis and USSR would be so jealous if still here)?
