The local ACLU chapter has been fighting the initiative for some time.

The money is coming from a federal grant from the Department of Homeland Security and would help purchase and install 32 security cameras, four mobile surveillance trailers, and other related technology.

Sacramento’s Mayor is in favor for the appropriation, saying “I fought for the money and got it…Public safety is a top priority for my administration, and I will use every tool to help reduce crime in our city.”

The ACLU says the proposed camera system is an “intrusive invasion of privacy,” but is not expected to file suit against the city.
