Answer
Monitoring private individuals' activities.
Explanation
Public space surveillance, in the spectrum of law, usually involves closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras in public places with the main objectives being deterring, preventing and detecting crime, and maintaining public order. While surveillance might sometimes inadvertently monitor individual activities, it should not target private, non-criminal behaviour. Hence, the answer should identify the one alternative that contradicts the main purpose of public surveillance.
