Infidelity Insights

Although this is not a specifically prohibited act for private investigators in some states, we as a company have a policy against doing so. We feel that even if it is legal, it goes beyond what is necessary and is both invasive and in poor taste to do so. We bring this up because a client debated why we did not attempt to zoom in on our subject sitting inside a house. Private investigators, like any professionals, have ethical considerations like this. Although you may find a private investigator willing to do this, where allowed by law, we recommend that you aviod this type of behavior and stick with a PI who cares about the ethical considerations as we do.

Every private investigator conducting infidelity surveillance should have a hidden video camera with them and available to use at a moments notice. If your spouse goes inside a bar to meet someone, the Private investigator should go inside and get footage of whats going on in there too. They should not be sitting inside the car waiting for them to leave! With the cost of hidden cameras being at an all time low, we cannot see why this equipment is not being used and we recommend that you stay away from any private investigator who does not have this type of equipment. One thing that is important to note is the fact that these minature cameras do have limitations. They usually do not have much zoom capability and they do not work well in low light conditions (ie a bar that has very minimal lighting or a dance club that is mostly dark). Our Dallas private investigators had a real hard time this month getting good footage of a woman inside a large dance club because of lighting problems. We actually had to give the DJ a couple of bucks to put a spot light on our girl for 10 minutes while she was dirty dancing with her co-worker.

Every good private investigator knows that the smart cheater will use a telephone calling card. Lets face it, it's untraceable, you can get them at every drug store or gas station and the average spouse will think nothing of finding a calling card in their spouses car or wallet. If you are looking over phone bills and not seeing any of the calls you are looking for, don't assume that all is well.

Like any professionals, Private Investigators tend to specialize more and more. In the old days, you had a "lawyer". Now we have "family law" lawyers, "collection attorneys", "tax lawyers", etc. etc. Private investigators are the same. We specialize in Spousal Surveillance and Infidelity investigations and shy away from areas like missing persons cases, product liability, accident reconstruction, etc. We do not hold a special license to conduct spousal surveillance, we simply focus all of our energy on this area (and got to quite good at it)
