San Diego Implemented City-Wide Streetlight Surveillance

No, there aren’t. This is a few hundred cameras and it’s mostly downtown. San Diego is the eighth largest city in the US and this is a tiny fraction of the city. Evaluate it on the merits, but be clear about what’s really going on.

This is factually incorrect. There are currently over 3000 cameras live on this system, with the goal to increase to over 4000.

This is inaccurate. Only a small fraction are live. And it would take a lot more than 3,000 cameras to be "city wide" in SD. It's a really large city in geographic terms.

I live here and have talked to the city officials running the system. I also linked a source.

What's your source?

Wrong. I've seen these from Pacific Beach to Imperial Beach. That is around 40 miles from North to South. They are _everywhere_. You can spot them by the black antennas sticking out the bottom of the light fixture.

Source: I've lived in San Diego for 50 years.

that's a different system. They don't have cameras.
