Expert Insights
If you ever wonder how drug trafficking impacts a city, Chula Vista should be one of the first places you look.
The city is just seven miles from the Mexican border, which means drug cartels use its roadways and its citizens as part of their drug trafficking network. In fact, the cartels now illegally import thousands of pounds of drugs into the U.S. and through Chula Vista. As a result, the city has now become one of the most surveilled in the county. In fact, its citizens are monitored by the nations’ largest law enforcement agency: the U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
CBP uses high-powered drones, automated license plate scanners, facial recognition technologies, radars, infrared sensors, surveillance blimps, and surveillance towers on a daily basis. And while some citizens feel it’s an invasion of privacy, most simply wish they’d catch and put an end to the cartel’s reign.
