“More and more, we’re seeing stalkers using this technology to facilitate the behavior they’ve always engaged in.”— Michelle M. Garcia, director of the Stalking Resource Center

It can be a GPS device implanted under a car’s dashboard, revealing where the victim is at any time.

Or a video camera hidden in a home and disguised as a baseball cap or a calculator.


These high-tech tools tell stalkers where their victims are, what they are doing and whom they are talking to, all from a distance and hidden behind an electronic veil of secrecy.


“More and more, we’re seeing stalkers using this technology to facilitate the behavior they’ve always engaged in.”

Potential victims need to know that stalkers are using these high-tech devices and that they must be careful about what they share online, advocates say.

A stalker can implant a GPS device or another tracking device in a car and keep tabs on the position of the vehicle through an Internet connection.

Listening devices are getting easier to hide, cheaper and higher-quality.

Video cameras, too, are getting smaller and easier to hide. They can be made to look like everyday objects and operate over a wireless connection, so the footage can be monitored online.





Just be glad that those who protect and serve us NEVER abuse this technology!

Well this isn't as bad as what their doing in CHINA.

They are passing a law that requires all PC's sold in China to have a chip that the govt will be able to monitor what your surfing on the web AND so they can "eliminate the viewing of pornography". They sware it's just so they can't watch porn BUT haven't commented on who get's to judge what PORN is and haven't said they wouldn't us it to sensor anything else!

I'll bet everything I have that the rate of sexual assaults in China rises due to this law.
