Expert warns against buying illegal spy equipment. According to Article 138.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, such devices are devices intended for covert audio recording, video surveillance and wiretapping. However, if the device is visible and cannot secretly record, it is considered legal.

A GPS tracker designed specifically to track movement can be used to track children, elderly relatives, or animals. You can detect such a device using your phone. To do this, open the “Security and Emergencies” section and select “Warning about unknown trackers” there.
