The California city of San Clemente will officially allow Customs and Border Patrol to begin a controversial new surveillance project within its city limits. The plan, which involves installing cameras on a hill to overlook the Orange County city and its famous coastline, is moving ahead despite a torrent of pushback from locals, including many who attended a fiery, hours-long San Clemente City Council meeting on Jan. 20.


It’s californiabama. And yeah, it’s a heinous place. There’s a reason everyone drives 100mph (not really much of an exaggeration) on I-5 to get through that shit as quick as possible.
