The reality of a private investigator doing a criminal background check is that the majority of the information we present to a client originates from public records, and we typically lack surveillance footage of the alleged criminal offenses the target of our inquiry was charged with.
That means we have to include a disclaimer with out reports explaining that, while it’s in everyone’s best interest to have 100% perfect information, that’s just not how it works in the real world!
Here’s the thing…
You data provider my be missing information. (In fact, probably is!)
Your subject may have a criminal history out of the area (like on spring break, for example).
Heck, his social security number or name may have a typo in the court file. (It happens!)
For a hundred reasons I can name, and a 1,000 other reasons, intell just isn’t 100% every time.
That’s why you set your client’s expectations before you take the case and that includes a disclaimer with your report.
Regarding the video:
All parties are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
DON’T MISS:
“Breakthrough course teaches surveillance faster than ever before!”
Over two hours of video training the bad guys don’t want you to see. (And neither do other Investigators!)
If you’re sincere about joining the small group of individuals that compete against swindlers, hustlers, fugitives, and other bad guys then…

P.S. – And, of course, don’t miss my special report titled… If You Want To be a Private Investigator Give Up… Unless You Do These Three Things. You can get it right here…
Wouldn’t a Disclaimer notice be included in a Contract signed prior to the start of a case? Or, are you recommending both Disclaimer notices be on all pages of any report and the Contract?
You are 100% right, Randall. Both the contract and the reports need the disclaimer.
That’s the way I did it and that’s what I recommend.
Thanks for the excellent question!
