Personal safety when exposed to surveillance

[Mutt]

If you suspect that you are being monitored, it is important to act calmly, consciously, and not to attract unnecessary attention. Here are some tips for ensuring personal safety:

1. Confirmation of observation:
   • Do not make any sudden movements or indicate that you have noticed the surveillance.
   • Check if the same people, cars, or suspicious behaviors are repeated in different locations. For example, notice if the same people or cars are following you.
   • Change your route or schedule: go to a store, cafe, or change the direction of travel. If the surveillance continues, this confirms your suspicions.
2. Keeping calm:
   • Don't get into a confrontation or try to find out who is following you.
   • Avoid panicking so as not to reveal that you are aware of the surveillance.
3. Ensuring security:
   • Move to a crowded place: a shopping mall, a cafe, a subway. It is more difficult for observers to act in a crowd.
   • Avoid deserted places, especially at night.
   • If possible, use public transportation or taxis to make surveillance more difficult.
4. Documentation:
   • Discreetly record details: people's appearance, car numbers, time and place. This can be useful for law enforcement.
   • If it's safe, take a photo or video, but don't risk attracting attention.
5. Connection with others:
   • Inform a trusted person about the situation and indicate your location.
   • If you feel threatened, contact the police. Explain the situation clearly and provide the collected data.
6. Changing habits:
   • Temporarily change your daily routine, routes and usual places to visit.
   • Check your devices and accounts for possible hacking or surveillance (for example, suspicious apps or cameras).
7. Request for help:
   • If the situation seems serious, contact law enforcement or a private detective to verify the fact of surveillance.
   • Consider consulting with a lawyer if you have reason to suspect that surveillance is related to conflicts (such as business or personal disputes).
8. Technical measures:
   • Check your personal belongings, car or home for tracking devices (GPS trackers, hidden cameras).
   • Use secure means of communication (for example, encrypted instant messengers).

Important: If you feel there is an immediate threat to your life or health, call emergency services immediately. Do not attempt to confront potentially dangerous individuals on your own.

If you have specific details of the situation (e.g. location, circumstances, description of people), I can give more precise recommendations.
