Preferred term

surveillance abuse  

Definition(s)

  • Surveillance and other forms of secret intelligence gathering and covert action have a long and colorful history. While popular culture celebrates the adventures of James Bond and the clever technical skill portrayed in Mission Impossible, civil libertarians worry about privacy rights and the boundaries between legitimate law enforcement techniques and government abuse of power.
