Drones - Traffic Cams - Electronic Bug Sweeps - George Orwell's 1984

Drones, Traffic Cameras for license plates, and yes Bugs or Electronic Eavesdropping Devices:  1984?

Eavesdropping has become more and more common in this new world of high-tech surveillance whether it be the government, your employer, a spouse or ex-spouse. Per the front page article of the USA Today (8/22/13) 56, 000 emails of Americans were intercepted and monitored by the NSA that had nothing to do with terrorism this past year which has led to the huge NSA scandal that has unfolded before our eyes. Unmanned drones have been a hot topic lately in the news media and just to dis-spell any rumors or false notions: " Not all drones are *Predator Drones that carry heat seeking missiles." Many, and most  (of these surveillance type drones) are smaller and may even resemble more like a remote control helicopter or airplane. This is a very grey area legally right now in our country and it is important to know the laws in your state or region in the event that you yourself are using these types of surveillance measures. This is such a new area that many attorneys and legal professionals are not even aware of what is legal or not when it comes to the use of unmanned drones for surveillance.

Undercover cameras, video and audio equipment and it's technology has become microscopic and wireless. In addition, the cost for this type of equipment has come down and is much more accessible to those who have a need. GPS tracking devices, computer monitoring and key logger software can be installed and your privacy rights may have been violated or are being violated as I type up this post. I guarantee your vehicle has been spotted in California if you have driven thru Los Angeles County recently as there is a camera at almost every intersection. Well, that is a bit of an exaggeration, but not by much!
