Secret Monitoring: A Method of Fighting Against Terrorism
Secret Monitoring: A Method of Fighting Against Terrorism

Summary/Abstract: The danger of terrorism as a social phenomenon is increasingly present and threatens both individual states and the entire international community. The current level of development in the contemporary world allows terrorists to combine the means of modern technology and those of mass destruction, threatening every civilized society. In the suppression of this plague of the modern world, the use of secret surveillance of people is inevitable as a means of covert collection of data and information about subjects who may be involved in possibly dangerous activities. Yet, the use of secret surveillance of people interferes with the basic human rights and civic freedoms and, therefore, requires the existence of adequate legislation which should be fully observed in the activities of the security sector, as well as a high level of professional training of the security operatives engaged in the process of applying these measures. Although the secret surveillance of people involves many measures and procedures, one of the most commonly used measures is secret monitoring and recording. The significance of this measure is best reflected in the amount of collected evidence.
