MONTPELIER, Vt. - Vermont Attorney General T.J. Donovan said he worries about the privacy implications of a series of surveillance towers federal officials are hoping to build along the stateâs border with Quebec.
Donovan said he recognized the need by U.S. Customs and Border Protection to monitor the border for illegal activities.
âMy expectation is that the CBP, in service to the public, will balance its needs for public safety with the privacy interest of those it is sworn to protect,â Donovan said in a statement issued Tuesday. âCBP has failed to make a compelling case that the scale and scope of the proposed surveillance is ultimately necessary, and it has failed to adequately take into account Vermontersâ privacy concerns.
