More people are buying surveillance equipment from a spy shop but not everybody is spying within the law.

Unlawful Surveillance

Surveillance equipment and secret cameras are top of the list when it comes to spy shop sales. Spying on people seems to be more prevalent than ever before. Some blame the war on terror that has alerted more people to the need for CCTV, surveillance and counter surveillance equipment. But the fact that retailers are now turning to specialist spy shops not just to buy cameras to safeguard from thieves, but to track customers is raising a few eyebrows.

Following Consumers

Buying surveillance equipment from a spy shop is increasingly common for businesses and retailers, but the Daily Mail recently reported on new technology used in a shopping centre in Portsmouth. Surveillance staff are tapping into customer's mobile phones to track their every movement. As a trip to a spy shop will tell you, surveillance equipment is becoming increasingly sophisticated as technology continues its onward march. And now it's possible to check which stores a shopper went to, which toilets they visited and how long they spent there, as well as their chosen shopping route.

Specialist Spy Shop offers Surveillance Gadgets

The specialist spy shop is no stranger to requests from people who are eager to spy on somebody's movements, whether its to try and uncover a secret affair or to monitor a mistrusted employee, but unlawful spying is actually a crime; in America, it is a felony. Although surveillance is increasingly a part of our culture, there is still a sense that being spied upon – especially for commercial gain – is a step too far. The shopping centre technology uses a series of receivers that pick up signals from mobile phones to monitor a person's movements. Because it doesn't capture personal information, the shopping centre isn't obliged to inform the public.

Hidden Camera in the Toilets

Over in the States, one man took spying a step too far after he bought hidden camera spy gadgets from a local spy shop and installed them in his office bathroom. The cardiologists used them to spy on his employees and patients but was arrested for the unlawful surveillance. His staff became suspicious after finding invoices from a spy shop for an air purifier – the purifier concealed a camera. Although surveillance equipment from a spy shop can aid security and help businesses monitor trends, spying on toilets is certainly something most people would feel deeply uncomfortable about.
