If you have been thinking that private investigators were only roles in a movie, then you are mistaken because Private Detectives Halifax of West Yorkshire can prove that tracking every move you make is really easy. Private Detectives Halifax (https://privatedetectives-halifax.co.uk) are often asked if private detectives are legal and of course we only work within the law. Our willing friend, helped us carry out an experiment on him.
Walking to the bus stop, the last thing you’d assume is that your every move is being filmed by the man casually strolling along at five paces behind you. Taking notes of all people you talk with, writing things down and following you.
This is what the woman experienced when she volunteered to be tracked by a Private Detectives Halifax in West Yorkshire. Later our friend said, “I thought I’d know if someone was filming me but I wasn’t aware of the detective at all”.
The detective who had a DSLR camera, a Covert Camera Recorder, and other tools, walked behind her from her home in Northowram in West Yorkshire to the tube, and to her office without being made.
Our friend says that she was extremely keen on her surroundings and her sense of awareness was at its peak that week as she knew she would be followed at some point in the week. Despite this, I failed to see even a single thing and I am shocked. I never saw the investigator at all though I was sure I would be able to know if someone shot a video or took my photo in public but I did not notice the investigator at all”.
The woman met a friend at lunchtime to have a chat, not knowing that she was followed to work. The Private Detectives Halifax detective followed her and her friend to a nearby bar where they manage to get close enough to the pair to listen to their chat and report back about what they drank, where they went and how ‘animated’ the dialogue was. The investigator’s report showed that he filmed the two with a camera hidden under the table and had close-up photos of her mate.
The report read – ” The male has been tactile with the woman on the walk often touching her. They both seem quite comfortable in one another’s company. The man purchased two drinks at the bar, after they sat, and then returned to the table. They continue engaged in what appears to be animated conversation”.
Our friend was followed for 6 hours and given a 17-page account of everything she did that morning. There were 50 photos, a 15-minute video clip, and two maps one showing the route she followed to work and the other places she and her buddy visited later that day.
The woman’s response – “I didn’t believe these things were applicable in real life”. In the movies it is lots of fun to watch but in real life it extremely disquieting to be trailed and not realise it”.
The issue of whether the PIs should receive more streamlined regulation and monitoring is still being muted. For instance, when you hire a plumber or a construction worker, they must be controlled by a governing body and it should be same here. There is no real regulation in the private investigation industry.
As far as concerns data protection laws, the service provider needs to register with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). We are not only license-ready but registered at Private Detectives Halifax too.
