Surveillance Practice

This is a revisit of basic surveillance and how to practice. Tell a friend that at some point during the week you will be watching him/her and to let you know if you are spotted.

For your first assignment, study your friend's (the mark's) habits and where they go. When ready; get your cell phone, smart phone or camera and tail your mark on foot. Get pictures of your mark at four different times: morning, during the day, evening and on a weekend. It does not have to be all in the same day. This will give you practice in studying a mark's movements and give you practice in surveillance for different levels of difficulty.

For your second assignment, tail your mark using your car. Start by staking them out and doing some simple following for short periods of time (just down a single street, for example), and look for predictable patterns. When ready, tail them during the same times mentioned above. Be sure to get pictures and do not get in a wreck or cause a dangerous driving situation.

Keep in mind, you are doing this (most likely) for someone not trained in counter-surveillance measures. A professional will be much more difficult but this is a good place to start.

Bug Detecting

Between 50 and 6000 MHz are where most spy devices are located. The federal government uses between 406- 420 MHZ ( approx).
The process for locating bugs is simple. You need to be aware of all the wireless devices you possess. This can include but is not limited to, Baby monitors 900 - 1200 MHZ (many others)Wireless Routers 802.11 -(close to 2.4 GHZ), Cordless phones 5.8-6 GHZ, Some Cell Phones (approx) 900MHz, Wireless Keyboards and Mice, Wireless speakers

Turn these off and start scanning.
