Government Surveillance is very useful to governments and law enforcement to maintain social control, recognize and monitor threats, and prevent/investigate criminal activity.

Computer surveillance The vast majority of computer surveillance involves the monitoring of data and traffic on the internet. In the United States for example, all phone calls and broadband Internet traffic ( s, web traffic, instant messaging, etc.) are required to be available for real-time monitoring by Federal law enforcement agencies.

Telephones The official and unofficial tapping of telephone lines is widespread. In the United States for instance, it is required that all telephone communications will be available for real- time wiretapping by Federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies.

Surveillance cameras Surveillance cameras such as these are installed by the millions in many countries, and are nowadays monitored by automated computer programs instead of humans. Surveillance cameras are video cameras used for the purpose of observing an area. The amount of footage is also drastically reduced by motion sensors which only record when motion is detected.

Social network analysis One common form of surveillance is to create maps of social networks based on data from social networking sites such as Facebook, My space, Twitter.

Biometric surveillance Biometric surveillance refers to technologies that measure and analyze human physical and/or behavioral characteristics for authentication, identification, or screening purposes. Examples of physical characteristics include fingerprints, DNA, and facial patterns. Examples of mostly behavioral characteristics include gait (a person's manner of walking) or voice.
