Aerial physical surveillance is the direct observation of people or activities from the air for the purpose of gathering information. In many countries, helicopters have traditionally been the predominant tool for this purpose. As drones become less expensive, their use is becoming more common. Surveillance planes are also occasionally used and are much more covert than helicopters.

Examples of aerial physical surveillance include:

- Observing the crowd during demonstrations or gatherings, often as part of an [overt](tl://techniques/physical-surveillance/overt.html) surveillance operation.
- Improving the chances of successfully following the target of surveillance during a [covert](tl://techniques/physical-surveillance/covert.html) surveillance operation, especially at night.
- Locating suspects soon after an action took place and the adversary has been alerted, especially in rural areas or at night (in the case of an arson in Germany, a police helicopter responded by flying over the area the same night[^https://web.archive.org/web/20251103180327/https://actforfree.noblogs.org/2023/11/13/munich-germany-geothermal-energy-gets-hot-and-not-only]).
- Locating suspects as part of routine [police patrols](tl://techniques/police-patrols.html) in areas at risk of criminal activity.

Surveillance planes can monitor entire cities, photographing up to 80 square kilometers per second, allowing for the slow-motion reconstruction of virtually any outdoor movement,[^https://theintercept.com/2020/04/09/baltimore-police-aerial-surveillance] with high-quality video at night.[^https://theintercept.com/document/2021/08/31/motion-to-suppress-aerial-surveillance-evidence-in-u-s-vs-muhammed-momtaz-alazhari]

A camera found in the skylight of a public school in [Berlin, Germany, in July 2011](eae://#berlin-2011-07).

Covert video surveillance devices are electronic devices, typically cameras, hidden by an adversary to collect video data.

An adversary can hide covert video surveillance devices anywhere with a line of sight to the target or area under surveillance. Notable locations include:

- The living room of a target.
- The windows of a building close to the home of a target, with a line of sight on the entrance of the home.
- Close to [stash spots or safe houses](tl://mitigations/stash-spot-or-safe-house.html) as has happened in Italy, where motion-activated cameras were installed to monitor a forest stash spot.[^https://web.archive.org/web/20260305182748/https://actforfree.noblogs.org/2022/06/24/italy-youll-find-us-in-our-place-as-we-cant-stay-in-yours-on-the-diamante-investigation]

Captured images can be used as evidence in court. Non-incriminating, mundane images can reveal a lot about the targets of surveillance and help in [network mapping](tl://techniques/network-mapping.html).

See [Ears and Eyes](eae://) and the ["Hidden devices" topic](res://#topic=hidden-devices).

A few weeks into his detention, one person gave an "extensive" testimony to the police. He claimed this was partly because of two techniques used by one of his lawyers to push him to give this testimony:[^https://web.archive.org/web/20251115062631/https://wawa3.noblogs.org/post/2017/05/24/olsen-gang-replies-statements-of-warsaw-three-en]

- The lawyer showed him a social media post written by someone from his political scene shortly after his arrest. The post criticized the action for which he had been arrested and did not include a declaration of solidarity. Because the post was the only reaction from his political scene that the person knew about, he felt isolated.
- The lawyer told him that the two other people had already given extensive testimonies to the police, which was a lie.

In 2016, three people were arrested[^https://web.archive.org/web/20251115062727/https://wawa3.noblogs.org/post/2016/06/21/chronology-eng] in the parking lot of a police station in Warsaw.[^https://web.archive.org/web/20251115062631/https://wawa3.noblogs.org/post/2017/05/24/olsen-gang-replies-statements-of-warsaw-three-en] They were accused of attempting to set fire to police cars.

The people were detained for 4 months before being released.

In a 2017 trial, the people were sentenced to 3 months in prison (which they had already served), a fine, and 24 months of community service.
