True, in many jurisdictions, the use of surveillance technology to observe activities that people expect to be private without their consent or without proper legal authorization (such as a warrant) can be considered an unlawful search. This principle is often derived from legal standards that protect individual privacy rights against unreasonable searches and seizures, such as the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution. However, the specific legal interpretation can vary by country, state, or locality, and there may be exceptions based on the context, the type of surveillance, and the laws that apply to the situation. It is essential to consult the relevant laws and legal precedents in the specific jurisdiction to understand the legality of a particular use of surveillance technology.
