We're getting some new street lights and have noticed they have little
antennas on the top.

What is it for? They look like they have a light detetctor same as the
old ones too.


New generation of miniature speed/number plate cameras mounted in the
lamp post that transmit the pictures directly back to base. They will
also be used to enforce parking restrictions 24/365.



I thought they were RFI tag readers so they can track the compulsory ID
cards coming soon.
