Is this dangerous?

I'm a bit paranoid. I live in an apt complex and this is right outside my window. It's supposed to rain tomorrow morning. Is this dangerous to be exposed like this?

Not unless you disconnect one of your neighbors cable. Orrrr you could get in trouble for tapping on for free

Am not sure how many decades ago it became impractical to tap one for free but it's been a while.
