legal surveillance

Legal surveillance refers to the authorized monitoring of individuals or communications, typically conducted by law enforcement or government agencies, in accordance with established laws and regulations. This can include wiretapping phone calls, monitoring internet activity, or using cameras in public places. Such surveillance usually requires a warrant or court order based on probable cause that criminal activity is taking place. The aim is to gather evidence while balancing public safety and individual privacy rights. Legal surveillance is governed by laws to protect citizens from unreasonable invasions of privacy.
