[Android Central Question]

I need to know if the authorities are monitoring my android device.

[B. Diddy]

Welcome to Android Central! Why are you worried about this? Are you doing something the authorities would be interested in?

[A Bochur]

usually they would know how to hide their tracks

"The authorities" don't have to monitor your device, they can just get a listing of numbers you've called, sites you've visited, etc. With a warrant in those countries that have real laws, without one in countries that don't.

If you never want "them" to know what you're doing, live in a cave in a jungle, and never use anything that uses electricity (or batteries). Otherwise, everything you do leaves a trail.

What Rukbat said. You won't know if they are. They could just go to your carrier and see your records there.
