Definitions
A nonstandard US verb meaning to surveil again — to subject a person, location, or network to a second or renewed round of surveillance. It surfaces mainly in legal and civil-liberties contexts when authorities re-open monitoring of someone previously cleared, or when activists describe the expansion of government tracking programs. The 're-' prefix makes the direction of use clear: this isn't a first watch, it's a return to watching.
The court ruling allowed investigators to resurveil the suspect after new evidence came to light.
