  • 2. 

    In the beginning it is better to record too much information during surveillance than too little.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Recording too much information during surveillance is better than recording too little because it allows for a more comprehensive and detailed analysis of the situation. By capturing a greater amount of data, there is a higher likelihood of capturing important details or evidence that may be crucial for investigations or decision-making processes. Additionally, having excess information provides the opportunity to review and analyze the data from different perspectives, potentially uncovering patterns or insights that may have been missed with limited information.

    • 45°

    • 90°

    • 120°

    • 180°

    Correct Answer
    A. 45°
    Explanation
    When watching a subject, placing yourself at an angle of 45° to the front allows for a better perspective and depth perception. This angle provides a balance between being directly in front of the subject and being too far to the side. It allows you to see the subject clearly while also capturing some of the surrounding environment. This angle is commonly used in photography and cinematography to create visually appealing compositions.

    Staying below the level of any high land is a safe and recommended practice. This is because high land can pose risks such as landslides, avalanches, or falling debris. By staying below the level of high land, one can minimize the chances of being affected by these hazards and ensure their safety. Therefore, the statement is true.

Surveillance requires the use of specialized equipment, skilled personnel, and often involves long hours of monitoring and gathering information. Additionally, the cost can increase depending on the complexity of the operation, the duration, and the location. Therefore, it is important for the client to be prepared for the potential expenses involved in a surveillance operation.
