Listening devices and "hidden" cameras that are large and obvious, often with a big red or green light on them. Sometimes they get hidden in ventilation grates in such a way that the light they emit can be seen by anyone walking by. And sometimes they're right out in the open, apparently unnoticed by people who really ought to know better.
 
[[Tracking Device|Tracking devices]]s are even worse for this, not only having a red light, but ''beeping audibly'', which is several kinds of stupid. One would think that '''''[[Batman (Comic Book)|Batman]]''''' of all people would realize that perhaps it's not a good idea to stick a beeping, light-equipped device onto somebody's car and expect them not to notice.
