What a stupid idea. Criminals take live wires all the time. I'm not even an electrician and I own a set of insulated electrical tools designed for safely cutting live wires....
This "construction supervisor" clearly doesn't know anything about electricity.
“I believe these are 200 volts, and that would hurt,” said Waldron.
Even those with a vague knowledge of electricity know that it comes only in either 208, 240, or most likely for street lights 277 volts, although the voltage has nothing to do with how much it would "hurt".
