What is an indictment? An indictment is the official charging for a person with a criminal offense.

While I am not an attorney, my experience as a private investigator is that indictments (at least in my area) are for felony criminal charges.

Side Note: Misdemeanor charges are filed with a “criminal complaint”.

The prosecutor will present evidence to a Grand Jury and seeking an indictment of an individual for a crime.

Some say this process is pretty one-sided. And it really is. The old joke is, “A prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich if he wants to”.

This weeks OSINT training video is about what an indictment looks like and the information you can find in one.

This video is a short clip from my full paid skip trace training course, The Investigator’s Ultimate Guide to Missing Persons and Fugitives: How to Skip Trace When Social Media Fails.

Here is some unedited, uncut surveillance film I shot as a private investigator and thought you might find interesting to view as an example of what you might catch on camera when you know how to do surveillance effectively.

If you think you need to know more about how to conduct either mobile surveillance or a stake-out (stationary surveillance) then be sure to check out The Investigator’s Ultimate Guide to Surveillance. After you go through that online, learn-at-your-own-pace, streaming video training you’ll know you’ve got it all. No secrets are left out. I empty the bucket and share with you everything about surveillance. After that, you’re ready to go!

In the meantime, this is Larry Kaye reminding you to do the right thing, even if it’s the hard thing.

This week’s private investigator training video explains step-by-step how to (sometimes) trace a license plate to find the owner’s name and address using only free, Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), online resources so you can do this from the privacy of your own home!

1. Verify the tag (license plate) really belongs to the vehicle you see it on. Easy.

2. Turn the tag into a VIN (vehicle identification number). Easy.

3. Turn the VIN into a name and/or address. Harder, but it can sometimes can be done.

Follow the video to lean exactly how to run a license plate without a permissible purpose and no follow-up audit by the Department of Motor Vehicles!

WARNING: Some of the sites I share with you in this video may be scams and rip-offs! I do NOT endorse any of these sites. Uses them, but don’t pay them a dime (unless you are absolutely sure they will do what they promise they’ll do for you).
