This method is also many times looked at as inefficient because it requires three officers instead of only one or two. The final type of surveillance, Undercover Operations, has a slightly different job when observing an area.

Today, we have our own telescreen devices that we carry around everywhere with us - cell phones. Like telescreens, cell phones can even be used for government surveillance. As the FBI proved in 2006 when they hacked into a mobster's phone to turn the mic on and record to look at the internet use and warrantless wiretapping controversies.
