You should look carefully the next time you see a squirrel running around carrying a nut. It could be a critter enlisted by law enforcement to carry the latest in surveillance technology, as the BBC reports:

“With these cameras, anywhere a tiger went or whatever it did, we could keep on filming it. They were the ultimate filming devices.”

Mr Downer added: “This sort of thing hasn’t been done before.

“It is a bit of a bonkers idea, and in my wildest dreams, when I thought about the challenges of filming tigers, I never thought we would suceed in doing what we did in this way, but now it seems the most natural thing in the world.”

Honestly I think I have seen this on snowboarders and other extreme sports fanatics. If you are going to film wild things in the wild, you have to assume some form/degree of participation with those you investigate; the technology enhances the art of spying but does not transform it entirely.
