DEA's New Covert Surveillance Tech: Credit Card Cameras
2025-09-21
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is employing increasingly sophisticated surveillance techniques. Newly revealed procurement data shows the agency purchased 57 audio-video recording devices disguised as credit cards from Swiss company Nagra. These devices, boasting 16GB of storage, are part of a larger trend of the DEA utilizing covert technology, having previously hidden cameras in everyday objects such as streetlights and toolboxes. This latest acquisition underscores the DEA's commitment to advanced surveillance capabilities in its law enforcement operations.
