Today I noticed one of those cranes in front of my house. I figured the town was trimming my palm tree, and thought nothing more of it. Went out to the front yard this evening after dark, and my entire front yard is lit up bright. They installed a friggin powerful street light on the power pole. That lovely darkness out front, from which to star gaze at night, is now gone. I can hardly make out a star or planet now. SOBs!
I'm tempted to get out a .22 with a scope and take care if it.
Could this be a cause of action, interfering with someone's enjoyment of their property?
If this was done by the town, I know the Mayor well, and will give him a call.
Check with the town, but sometimes the power companies own the street lights, because they own the poles, and it's part of a proffered agreement that they install and maintain lights.
It’s not easy seeing a mob of Haitians in a pitch black neighborhood so they’re simply trying to shine a light on those people in your neighborhood who might be forced to defend themselves against the invading hordes…to protect the invaders.

They probably read your stance on the Ann Coulter thread and are retaliating.
That's a good point, I forgot about dark sky compliance in some states as being a requirement. They may have to shield the lighting by code and just haven't.

I was sure this was going to be about a drive-by shooting, by "norwegians"
Aces is right, think of it as city-subsidized nocturnal kill-zone.

It depends on the state and local governments but some cities have light trespass laws and lighting ordinances.

My girlfriend owns a nice big house in the suburbs of north Atlanta. One evening I went upstairs to read my book, and the room was filled with bright light. They had installed a street light on the telephone pole out front.
I pay $7 a month to have a street light out here in the burbs. Connecting neighbors appreciated it at the time, all of us had small kids when I got it.
have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues, can you bend them guitar strings

We pay a small monthly fee also to have one in our front circle drive.
Might be a surveillance pole cam as well if no one asked for a light. They may take it down when they’re done with the job.
Funny story, but I was trained by DHS to tap into power and put cams up on them probably 12-14 years ago. They were one of the main ways to watch suspected places both overseas and at home. We were more interested in terrorism or espionage but law enforcement uses the [bleep] out of them. They used to get the same complaints as that post. Folks would call after we'd put them up complaining about the light. Eventually when the operation was done we'd take it down and the residents thought they really had some say.
I've got one on the telephone pole in front of my house. I like it. When the wife comes home after dark it's great. Everything is lit up----nothing to trip her in the driveway, no one hiding in bushes, she can find the key for the dead bolt. Plus someone else is paying for it-----I don't have to use the porch light.
It wasn’t random and light poles ain’t what they used to be. Think cameras and directional microphones….
You’ve attracted their attention.
Exactly. Brain reading technology has really advanced too so make sure to keep tinfoil on your head.
It’s no joke. It’s everywhere. Your TV watches you. Your phone watches you. The gas station monitor watches you. It’s unavoidable. They know everything. Facial recognition on your phone is just a front. It’s actually a deep brain scan. That phone isn’t recognizing your facial features - it’s reading right through your eye; traversing the ocular nerve; and recording all your thoughts

Exactly. Most towns, it’s a public process to put up street lights. That includes notification of all property owners affected, a public comment period, and a public hearing on the issue where planning a zoning committee will vote on it.

Yeah, I won't have to use the porch light either now, but I liked it better when I was in control of when it was dark and when it was bright out there. I have a security flood light over the carport which automatically flips on if it senses motion, but it can be turned off by me as well, should I wish. Same in the backyard. I miss the control over the darkness/brightness out there.

I’d think perhaps IDF or Mossad if no notice.
I knew a guy that got busted for operating a criminal enterprise that way. Apparently the state/fed got a warrant to put a surveillance camera on a power pole across the street from his house. They done the whole utility worker schitck so no one would pay any attention. It worked.

Request a more directional bulb... I have seen people spray point the side of ground based lamps so the don't shine in the window.

Television and radio are most effective when people question little and think even less.
You think tha light's bad, you've heard about the fluoride in the water, right? !
LOL
Yes. I've been lucky enough to have never lived where the tap water is fluoridated. In the small town I live in now (and for more than 20 years), every time the Fluoride people come and do a presentation at a Town Hall meeting, they get booed down, and lose in a landslide. Folks here are Fluoride-wise.
You know it's a byproduct of aluminum smelting, right? If they didn't sell it to municipalities to put in the public water supply, they'd have to pay big money to dispose of it as a toxic waste substance per EPA regulations, which is what motivated them to sponsor all the research showing that it was like iodine in table salt, i.e., an additive that's a boon for public health instead of a toxic waste product.

Yep. They sell billions of dollars worth to municipalities.
This is also how we ended up with Alzheimers causing aluminum in deodorant. The aluminum industry was trying to come up with a use for scrap, and they figured by grinding it into micro particles and selling it to P&G to embed in deodorant, they could increase profits.
For the guy who has a shower gun and one in every room in the house and you didn't go out and investigate an afternoon of racket in your front yard? Off day?
