Can you steal from a thief?

Does the end justify the means for a private investigator?

You are, after all, the “Good Guy”.

It’s easy to figure that the bad guy has it coming to him. If he wants to lie, cheat and steal then he should expect the same to be used against him.

I mean, it’s “an eye for an eye” right? “Live by the sword, die by the sword.” Right? WRONG!

We are the good guys. We must live up to a higher standard. If we don’t… we become the bad guys.

You cannot commit an intrinsically evil act, even in an attempt to get a “good” out of it. You just can’t.

God protects his sheep. I can’t find a single place where it says He protects wolves. Be careful you don’t become a wolf.

If all of this seems too esoteric for you, too touchy-feely-huggy, then think of it in these practical terms…

If you do anything illegal, your case is worthless and you can go to jail or prison. You can lose your license. You can lose a lot more than you stand to gain.

This stupid handcuff trick can get you hurt or killed.

If you have someone in handcuffs, they probably need to be in cuffs and you should keep them cuffed up. But if you decide that you should make them more comfortable, you may try cuffing them to a chair with only one hand.

I’m not saying this is a good idea, but maybe it’s what you’ve decided to do. If so let me suggest you do it like I do…

I cuff their strong / dominant hand to the opposite arm of the chair – across the front of their body.

I explain this in more detail – and exactly how I do it – in the video.

This is definitely a “use-at-your-own-risk” type of thing.

How much evidence do you need to collect as a private investigator for your client to win a court case?

How much evidence (“proof”) do you need to collect as a private detective to win your case in court?

Most clients come to you wanting evidence, but there are two different levels of evidence…

The first type of client wants enough evidence to convince himself or herself of something. In the video I give the example of a wife who needs evidence of her husband’s infidelity. She want proof of his cheating. The level of “proof” (evidence) she needs may not be as much as she would need in a court case. On the other hand, she may be expecting evidence far beyond what you would need in a court of law. (If that’s the case, you had better set your client’s expectations before you decide to take her case!)

The second type of client needs evidences that will not only hold up in court, but will win the case! In the video I describe an ex-husband who needs proof that his ex-wife is living with another man so he can stop paying spousal support (AKA: alimony).

So here’s the big question…

How do you know exactly what evidence to collect so he can win in court?

HUGE TIP: Ask his attorney what he or she needs to take the case to court and win. Let the attorney make the call. After all, he or she is the one who has to present the evidence and he or she is the right person to know exactly what the law (and the judge!) requires.

This may be a video you want to share with someone who is considering hiring a P.I. for a domestic / cheaters type case.

3 Questions that take you from being a good private investigator to being a great one!

In addition to good Private Investigator training, ask yourself these 3 questions and you’ll become a great investigator… if you answer them honestly, of course!

After you work a case ask yourself…

1. What did I do that I should not have done?

2. What did I not do that I should have done?

3. If I were to work this case again, what would I do differently?

Theses three questions will take you to the next level!
