Surveillance is "implied" Search.

Therefore, Search warrants must be issued by a judge, with the appropriate signed affidavits, showing cause for the warrant(s).
While the Dept. of Interior and the Court may not wish to comment on the information contained in said warrants, or disclose information on the nature of the "criminal investigation", they are required to show that a warrant or warrants have been issued in compliance with the law and the Constitution of the United States.

Since the cameras are pointed at private property, the law is the answer.
Demand to see the Warrants.

Here is what I e-mailed to Secretary Norton:

Re: D.O.I. Hidden Surveillance Cameras gale_norton@ios.doi.gov

Dear Secretary Norton,

It has come to my attention through an article in the Herald and News that hidden cameras are being used for surveillance of remote "wilderness signs." I felt that you should know that this is becoming a news story in some conservative circles. Your agency should be prepared to produce the constitutionally required warrants for these implied searches.

As a Bush appointee, I have confidence that you will handle this breach of the public trust with professionalism. I can only assume that you had no prior knowledge of these Big Brother tactics and would not approve them. If there are other cameras monitoring the public at large in similar clandestine fashion, (i.e. without warrants), the D.O.I. ought to reconcider the public relations implications and constitutionality of said activities.

Thank-you for considering my humble opinion on the matter.

Should I expect to be monitored now?

Yes, it really is that simple, you just have to know how to ask the right questions of "your" servants/gov. employees & they will behave like the good little boys & girls they were hired to be

{& if your thirsty, don't be afraid to ask them to get you a drink of water("what part of protect & serve do you not understand?")}.
