In the UK, more than 100 big companies and law firms are being investigated as to their involvement with “rogue” private investigators. This past week a former private investigator in the UK was arrested for allegations of computer hacking and other breached of privacy. He was the 21st person to be arrested as part of a Scotland Yard investigations.
When hiring a private investigator it is important to ask a lot questions about what information can be obtained. If the investigator you are speaking with says something like, “all information is available” than I would proceed with caution. In the US, it is true that a lot of information is available and with an experienced investigator, he or she will know where to look and gather that information in a professional and legal manner. Another good question to ask a detective, if they would be willing to testify in court to their methods and results of their investigation. Most PI’s don’t want to give up their trade secrets to their clients, which is fine and understandable. However, the PI should be willing to go into court and testify to their investigations.
Just some food for thought….
It’s interesting that hiring a private investigator can add a lot to a case. It would be important for people to get all the information they need! A good investigation can reveal a lot, making court a lot nicer.
There are several benefits of hiring a good Private Investigators. If you do decide that knowing is better than wondering, a good private investigator will have the experience, training, resources and equipment to get the answers you need.
Thanks for suggesting that we ask if the investigator would be willing to testify in court to their methods and results. My sister is thinking about hiring a private investigator to make sure her ex-husband is treating their children well. I’ll definitely suggest she ask potential investigators if they’d be willing to testify in court.
Recently, my cousin noticed that a big amount of money is missing in his business and he wanted to hire an investigator to find out. It was mentioned here that when planning to hire a private investigator, they should be willing to testify in court for legal proceedings. Furthermore, it’s recommended to hire professionals for quality private investigation services.
