The San Jose City Council is considering a proposal to install over 39,000 ?smart streetlights.? A pilot program is already underway. These smart streetlights are not themselves a surveillance technology. But they have ports on top that, in the future, could accommodate surveillance technology, such as video cameras and microphones. EFF and our allies sent a letter to the San Jose City Council urging them to adopt an ordinance to ensure democratic control of all of that community?s surveillance technology decisions?including whether to plug spy cameras into the ports of smart streetlights.
