US Park Police spend $343,000 on mobile surveillance cameras in Washington DC

Cameras reportedly set up near site for Trump’s proposed arch, Arlington Memorial Bridge and reflecting pool The US Park Police are spending $343,000 to lease mobile surveillance cameras from a company that also supplies Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), federal contract records show.
