Utilizing the Tools of a Spy

We are all spies now—and we’re all spied upon. We now live in a society where we have to assume everything we do outside of our homes is being recorded by a security camera or by someone’s phone. It’s important to know to use this technology to your advantage—and avoid others using it to your disadvantage.

For instance, if you’re in a car accident—after you’ve called the first responders and taken any other necessary action—you might find it useful to record where the vehicles are, the extent of the damage, and statements from witnesses so that the facts don’t get misrepresented later.

Similarly, if you are in a meeting where what is discussed might later be disputed, you might want to record the conversation—though be sure you do so lawfully as many states require that you inform the other parties and have their consent before making recording. But don’t count on the law to protect you—you need to protect yourself and you should also always assume you’re being recorded, and that your comments might be leaked.

I remember one time when I did a live debate broadcast over the Internet. With about ten minutes to kill before the official airtime, the host and my opponent in the debate chatted with me, and it was obvious they were trying to get me to say unguarded things. I knew better. I saw the camera was on, and I knew that if I wasn’t careful and precise in everything I said, they’d take something out of context and turn it into a YouTube hit piece. They finally gave up and we started the debate. When I left the studio, I found out that they were actually streaming live from the minute I walked into the room.
