Using GPS Trackers to confirm your worst suspicions

May 23rd, 2008

People tend to want to jump straight into using a Private Investigator to find out if your better half is actually your worst nightmare. But sometimes that like using a hammer to crack a nut.

A better option when you are not sure if or when it’s happening is to use a GPS tracker on their car to gather intel. This will give you an indication of when its happening and once you have these patterns then you send in the PI’s to obtain those all important photos that will prove beyond any doubts that they are indeed “bumping nasties”.

Even better than using one tracker is when you use 2 trackers. This only works if you already know who the other person is. If you put a tracker on your partners car and another one on the other person’s car that you think they are having an affair with, then you can watch on the internet as the 2 trackers converge.

And so I recommend that a GPS tracker is used for a few weeks or months before hand to gather that intelligence that will enable the Investigator to intelligently target the subject and gather the footage that is required for your peace of mind.

Do you suspect your partner is cheating on you?

May 22nd, 2008

When someone thinks their partner might be involved in an affair outside their relationship, doubts can persist and linger so much as to want to confront them, but suspecting that they are cheating and proving it are two different things.

When you are in a relationship there might come a time when you will start feeling that your partner is cheating on you and you might not feel like ignoring the instincts because they might be true.

So what do you do and what are the signs of a cheating partner?

In my experience, if you suspect it, it’s highly probable that it’s true and the only thing left to do is to prove it.

There are many ways of conducting surveillance including using GPS trackers, following them with private investigators, testing your partners computers or mobile phones for deleted messages.

But at the end of the day, you will have to decide what you are going to do about it after having the proof. Tell me folks, what would you do?

e-Legal | Gathering detectives investigate what’s on offer at IFSEC 2008

May 15th, 2008

YESTERDAY 3 PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS FROM E-LEGAL | GATHERING WENT ALONG TO IFSEC 2008 TO SEE WHAT THE FUSS IS ABOUT.

Jorge Salgado-Reyes (Salgado Investigations - Archangel Research Limited), Neil Sheppard (Trident Investigations Limited) and Fouad Khattab (The Arabian Knight Limited), founder members of e-Legal | Gathering went along to IFSEC 2008 and spent 4 long hours prowling the stalls on the hunt for new gadgets that would enhance their covert surveillance businesses.

There were hundreds of stalls displaying the CCTV industry’s best and not so best CCTV surveillance gadgets.

My favourite was one stall that had a small black ball slightly smaller than a golf ball with an integrated colour camera, microphone, USB connector and integrated DVR. The only problem with the gadget was it there was no real application for us but anyone that did extreme sports would like as it very light in weight.

The same stall had very small (half the size of a packet of cigarettes) DVR with a button camera at a very cheap price.

Lastly it had a vehicle DVR Which again was light weight and cheap.

What is the best type of Process Server?

May 12th, 2008

What qualities do you like best about your process server?

1 - Ability to serve anywhere in the UK?

2 - Price?

3 - Ability to trace the servee in the event that they have moved on or are evading service?

4 - Ability to serve same day (if required)?

5 - Ability to serve outside normal working hours?

6 - Effectiveness

While all the above are important to an instructing solicitor, price is probably the least important according to my research. Most solicitors would tend to put it last.

The best type of Process Server is one who has a combination of all six abilities as described above.
