Talking surveillance cameras that bark orders at passers-by and can also record conversations are heading for U.S. streets, with manufacturer Illuminating Concepts announcing the progress of its 'Intellistreets' system.

As we first reported last year, high tech street lights with "homeland security applications" are now being installed in major U.S. cities.

The street lights also have loudspeakers that can give audible warnings to individuals, mimicking the talking surveillance cameras in the UK that shout out orders through microphones telling people to pick up litter or leave the area.

A recent press release put out by Amerlux announces the company's partnership with Illuminating Concepts to further advance the rollout of 'Intellistreets'. The announcement confirms that the street lights will have a number of "homeland security features" including a loudspeaker system that will be used to "engage captive audiences".

'Illuminating' Concepts....can they be anymore trasparent. We all know who is behind this...it's practically in the frikkin name of the company making these things. The Polioce State is here and it's not going anywhere, just getting more repressive and suffocating ever day....Patriots must arm themselves to fight against this tyranny, whatever that may mean.

When we finally take our country back from the fascists, these companies will have a lot to lose.

The press release adds that the SmartSite system developed to operate the 'Intellistreets' surveillance hubs is intended not only for street lighting but also for "retail malls, sports venues, on college campuses, and in new construction," and "might well become commonplace" in the near future.
