Question: I did all the things someone in my situation would do to try to find the
bugs. In addition to calling in professional help using electronic
counter-surveillance, I made a close visual inspection of electrical
equipment, plus any points where audio or video surveillance devices might
have been concealed. Of course, I found nothing. Normal surveillance
"mini-cameras" are quite noticeable and require visible supporting
circuitry. It seems to me the best place to put a spy security camera
surveillance equipment would be additional to a piece of electronic equipment
such as a TV or video. It would be necessary to physically break in to a property
to fit such a device. Any information ?
Answer:This is true. I frequently employ private detectives to spy on people
(there's a good reason for this and I'll tell you if you guess
correctly) and one such detective showed me the latest technology only
last week. A small rucksack. One strap of the rucksack has a tiny hole
in it that you wouldn't notice unless someone pointed to it. That's the
camera: the wires lead into the rucksack itself where there is a video
tape recorder little bigger than a Walkman. I don't know if that's what
Roger Cook uses but it certainly explains why it is that the subject can
look straight into the lens and not realise (s)he's being filmed. Now, I
say "latest technology" and I think that's the technology that the
police use as well as the retired police who become private detectives,
but no doubt the security services have far more sophisticated
equipment.
