The past 2 years I've seen more and more cameras at intersections where I live, has anybody noticed this too? It's the same type of camera as well, white shell with a top shade.

I've seen them in the town next to mine.. and a couple at a new intersection here.
this is why we need people in the city councils.
we need safe havens.

Are they over the street light hanging over the street? They might be just the sensors that emergency vehicles use to trigger the lights to change.

Sorry, I was referring to the OP. Sounds just like the innocent sensors, but without seeing them, I dunno.

no, these are cameras. I know what you´re talking about though, i´ve seen those. It looks like a cliché spy-movie camera.

Ours have little blue "police lights" on them that turn on when they are "active". As soon as the light turns red the little blue lights come on.

I bet an airsoft pistol loaded with regular BBs could take them out and make less noise while doing it.
