Short answer: if you have to ask, then it probably is.

Long answer: are you asking if it's illegal to perform surveillance on individuals without their knowledge or consent? Then it depends on the state, what that information is used for and whether or not it's being done in private. For example, in California, it is legal to record someone without their knowledge as long as it is done in a public place where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy. However, it would be illegal to use hidden camera/microphone recordings as evidence in court without a previous warrant. In New York, it actually is legal to present hidden camera/microphone recordings as evidence in court without a warrant.
