Hypothetically if you actually paid enough attention to somehow notice it on a wall or somewhere. If it wasn't violating you in anyway. Would probably be an awkward situation.

I would do a happy dance in front of the camera. lol

What would you do?

I would take the camera and sell it on eBay. Usually the various law enforcement agencies we have, will generally use lots of expensive equipment. If they place that equipment or your property , then that must mean they are giving it to you as a gift.

Remember, there is a gift law in which if a company sends you something that you did not order, it is legally considered to a gift and legally, you don't have to return it.

If the CIA puts cameras in your house, then that means they gave you an early birthday or Christmas present of expensive cameras in which you can promptly sell and use the proceeds from the sale to build a new gaming PC.

Then if they go asking for the camera back, use that chance to show off the new gaming pc you built using the money from selling the camera.

In the case where the FBI stuck a GPS tracking device to that persons car, the tracker cost over $7000, even though the same thing could have been done with a iphone.

If they come asking about their surveillance equipment, just read them off a list of parts for a new gaming PC, then tell them, I put your camera to better use and since there's money left over from it's sale, I will be upgrading my video cards and CPU within a year.

CPU: Intel Core i7-970 $870 Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R $200

Hard drive: WD20EARS 2TB $99

SSD: SAMSUNG 470 Series MZ-5PA128 128GB $230

Optical media: LG WH10LS30K 10X Blu-ray burner $99

Memory: 12GB 3x4GB F3-12800CL7T-12GBTDD (with the latency of 7, 9 just isn't very satisfying anymore) $400

Video card: 2X GTX 480's $450 each

Case: Antec Twelve Hundred $150

Power supply: Cooler master Silent Pro RSA00-AMBAJ3-US 1000W $170

For a grand total of $3118

Legally you can't do anything because the CIA is a super power and they have marshal law when it comes to your privacy

alt text - In this undated photo provided by Yasir Afifi, shows a GPS monitoring device he found on his car in Santa Clara, Calif. Afifi took his car in for an oil change earlier this month and his mechanic spotted an odd wire hanging from the undercarriage. The wire was attached to a strange magnetic device that puzzled Afifi and the mechanic. They freed it from the car and posted images of it online, asking for help in identifying it. Two days later, FBI agents arrived at Afifi's Santa Clara apartment and demanded the return of their property, a global positioning system tracking device now at the center of a raging legal debate over privacy rights. … Read more »


I'd like 'The Details Why' the CIA, NSA, FBI, etc. was monitoring my actions. If my extreme dislike for our current president & administration's poor performance, then --- GET OVER IT! I've done NOTHING ILLEGAL, therefore NOTHING TO HIDE. There must be some valid reason for them to put me on watch?!

In the end, I'd try to get some kind of compensation in the form of a job with the CIA, Money, etc.

Personal Privacy vs. National Defense | The State Of Government Surveillance Since September 11

"... As far as anyone knows, the U.S. government has two primary domestic intelligence-gathering technologies at its disposal. They are Carnivore, which has been a thorn in the side of civil libertarians and privacy advocates in the United States for several years now, and Magic Lantern, which is currently under development. A third data snooping system, known as Echelon, is also worth noting, although it is designed for international rather than domestic surveillance. And a ha...."

I feel PC Security & Privacy will decrease more & more as Monitoring Technologies increase. From Location Based Services, GPS, IP Mapping, Nielsen Ratings, Tivo, Netflix, Discount Buyers Card, Credit Card Purchases, Google, Yahoo, BING ... more

I'd probably do the same, except with tetris, "Watch those blocks, Not my life!"

I would act as if I didn't notice it for a few days. Then I would wave at that camera one day and say: "Hey, can I use you for skype?".

I would probably be pretty angry and take them to task over privacy issues.

I would probably do something funny that would also hint that I know about the camera. I would post notices everywhere there is an entrance to the room instructing others to do something the same if they entered and watch what they say and do in there.

I would constantly be messing around in there (but do nothing illegal). I have nothing to hide! If my life is so interesting that the CIA decided they needed a camera in my house then you might as well put on a show for them.

I seriously doubt there's anything you could show the CIA that would be more disturbing than stuff they voluntarily engage in all the time.

I would plug in my computer to the camera and would not waste any time in returning their so "legal" action and steal any info I can to sell out and of course some millions in my bank account would not be that bad :p

I would get the camera - open it up and replace all the internals with new internals and a new ariel obviously and connect it to my laptop and make it face outside - what else could you do...
