Discrepancies between technology and legitimacy assumptions in the practice of public mobility surveillance Conclusion • Limited connection between technology and legitimacy assumptions in practice of public administration • The precautionary perspective is more and more dominant in the policy-making practice of public mobility surveillance. • Evaluation in terms of legitimacy is lagging behind. Therefore, in policy-making concerning public mobility surveillance more attention should be paid to:  The grounds for marking someone as a risk citizen;  The process of selection and definition of risks;  The role of technology itself in this process;  Clear inclusion and exclusion criteria to avoid prejudice and arbitrariness.
