Snooping and eavesdropping are happening more often these days and someone could be spying on you right now. What is the definition of espionage? Merriam-Webster defines passive or alone eavesdrop Like listening to a private conversation. Another source defines it as the unauthorized interception in real time of a private communication. Obviously, there are several ways one can describe eavesdropping. Well, is it legal or illegal to eavesdrop? According to espionage laws, it is an offense if a person secretly uses an electronic device to record, listen to or transmit a private conversation without the consent of the parties to hear what is said. The new law passed by Illinois makes it illegal to engage in surreptitious recording, transcription, or recording of a private communication without the permission of all parties. The law is quite clear: without prior consent, eavesdropping is a crime and is punishable as such. Here are some indicators to determine if there are bugs in your home:
1) Do you often hear sirens when you say something about the FBI? 2) Do you hear a small plane flying over your house at the oddest and earliest times, if you are restless in bed? 3) Do you hear cars going up and down your street very early in the morning, if you get up to go to the bathroom? 4) If you criticize the United States government, do you hear an increase in traffic around your house? 5) If you say something provocative, do you hear sirens almost immediately? 6) If you make a critical comment about the FBI, does anyone in your family get defensive? (Your family, under duress, may be planting bugs behind your back, inside your purse or backpack, etc.)
If you I think some people are eavesdroppingdo not rule out the possibility that your nearest neighbor may be involved in eavesdropping. So what can you do if there are insects in your house? You have few options. You can buy a bug detector, which I personally did without success: the bug detector I bought couldn’t zero in on planted bugs. Or you can hire a professional bug sweeper. Do not hire a researcher who provides a bug removal service, as they do so only part time and are probably not using state of the art bug detection equipment. Hire only a company that specializes in debugging; the company may charge more, but it will do a better job and give you a report summarizing what was discovered in your home. You want a professional bug sweeper. With the proof, you can now move on to the next step and consult your lawyer about the legal proceedings. Without proof that someone is eavesdropping, no lawyer can do anything for you. You need hard evidence to prove that your residence is being wiretapped. So, get proof and then take action.
