SAN DIEGO — The San Diego County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted Tuesday to spend $280,000 of federal grant money on a border security camera for the Sheriff’s Department.
The money came to the county as part of a grant under Operation Stonegarden, a federal border security initiative, and will go to FLIR Inc. for a camera and microwave transmission system.
Similar cameras are already in service in the border area.
The one public speaker in opposition to the purchase, Pedro Rios of the American Friends Service Committee, said his organization feared the cameras would lead to racial profiling against border crossers and intrude on privacy. The AFSC opposes enforcement of immigration laws.
Sheriff William Gore said the cameras were necessary to prevent crimes such as trafficking of underage girls and women for prostitution.
