Google and others already have mostly world-wide spy cameras, both still photos and some live action.  The "radar devices" they mention have variable frequencies that allegedly can see thru trees in a forest, and up to 200 feet underground.  For some security, a person would have to have a tunnel in the side of a hill, and they can still monitor the air quality coming out of the tunnel, as well as activities coming and going. 

Deception becomes a way of life, in an escalating battle of 'watcher and watchee', with people needing to always appear to be doing something different than what they are doing, as a general principle, to minimize the nuisance of the surveillance.

Drones could be used for civilian surveillance in the UK as early as 2012. Source: BAE

Police in the UK are planning to use unmanned spy drones, controversially deployed in Afghanistan, for the ¬"routine" monitoring of antisocial motorists, ¬protesters, agricultural thieves and fly-tippers, in a significant expansion of covert state surveillance.

The surveillance data is fed back to control rooms via monitoring equipment such as high-definition cameras, radar devices and infrared sensors.

...their intended use – which could span a range of police activity – and that officers have talked about selling the surveillance data to private companies.
