Those who oppose surveillance are said to be defending criminals, terrorists, and pedophiles.

Dedicated campaigners and concerned citizens have opposed bugging of phones, identity cards, security cameras, database linking, and many other types of surveillance. They have lobbied and campaigned against abuses and for legal or procedural restrictions. Others have developed ways of getting around surveillance.
