Dangerous ? No, unless you point the laser at a car, aircraft, person or pet.
But it works for a few minutes and then it turns on again.

Better is a multi switchboard key. I got it on Amazon in the EU, but also available on ebay. Fits all square and triagonal key slots in street lamp poles.

You can switch off the street lamp temporarily and turn it on after the observing session.
But writing at the local council you should do anyway to get a structural solution.
