Can I use electric from any of Street Lighting's equipment?

Stealing electricity is considered theft of services and will result in stiff fines and jail time.  Do not tamper with any electrical equipment you may see.  This is illegal, extremely unsafe, and could cause severe injury or even death.  If you see someone tampering with or stealing electricity, you should report it to the proper authorities.
