The '''surveillance grid''' is a system used by the [[Unified Earth Government|UEG]] and the [[Colonial Administration Authority|CAA]] to keep track of [[civilian]]s electronically. Bank accounts and personal identity are kept track of using the grid, removing the need for individual keys. While technically anyone can go offline, they would have a severe disadvantage because of the numerous features governed by the grid, features such as the privileges to purchase goods or drive private cars, all of which can only be done while connected to the grid. The surveillance grid on Earth is additionally capable of listening in on conversations, with cameras looking for specific cues such as facial expressions and body language and beginning to "listen in" when the video is flagged and the conversation isolated. This system was avoided by [[Petra Janecek]] following an outburst by [[Benjamin Giraud]] by beginning to talk about mundane subjects such as the water and a trip to the beach, noting that you can "Talk about whatever you want, but look like you're talking about the weather".<ref name="HTT04">'''[[Hunt the Truth]]''', ''[[Hunt the Truth Season 1|Season 1]] - Episode 4''</ref>
