Smart Streetlights, the contentious network of street lights equipped with sensor nodes that have video and audio recording capabilities, could return to San Diego. The City's Public Safety Committee heard arguments for and against the technology Friday afternoon and voted to give the City's Privacy Advisory Board a chance to review the $12 million contract offered to the City of San Diego by the company behind the streetlight cameras. Ubicquia Inc.’s Smart Streetlights and Flock Safety’s Automated License Plate Recognition would have a 5-year agreement and contract with the City of San Diego. The companies and San Diego Police Department officials say the cameras will keep San Diegans safer. Critics of the idea and agreement say the cameras infringe on citizens’ privacy.
