Abstract The evolution of sensor networks able to detect various physical phenomena presents an opportunity to reduce the dependence of law enforcement and intelligence agencies on visual surveillance as a means of policing and intelligence gathering. The use of specific sensing technologies has the capacity to produce more salient data to support specific policing activities. It has the added benefit of reducing the effect of surveillance on certain forms of privacy by limiting the collection of data that reveals or eases the revelation of identity, limiting the ease with which data can be repurposed, and limiting the misuse and abuse of systems to track and monitor subsets of the population based on animus, bias, or voyeurism.
