Lights! Inaction! Camera!

While the city found the money to finance 24 state-of-the-art cameras and the computers needed to analyze the data, which is being collected and collated 24/7; the city gummint is turning off the lights at night claiming that the draconian measure of having us stay at home at night or risk falling in the treacherous streets of Tzfat in the darkness if we do have to go out, is for the sake of fiscal recovery.

Doesn't not turning the street lights off at night tacitly aid and abet thieves work under cloak of darkness?

But then, the theft justifies the cameras and computers that are used for surveillance of everyone in Tzfat.

And why is it that when I went out at 10:30 this morning, I saw that all of the street lights along the No. 6 bus line were on?

Doesn't it cost the same money to light the city in broad daylight as it does in the black of night?

Another passenger told me the lights were on yesterday during the day too.
