Mobile Surveillance: Getting Caught

Video Transcript

"Hello. My name is Frank Torres. I'm here on behalf of Expert Village, and this segment is about being made during mobile surveillance. Being made...you got caught! Your subject knows that you shouldn't be there. You're doing something suspicious and they want you gone. They're knocking on your window, there's children playing all over your vehicle, and the neighborhood's in an uproar over your observation point. The police are on their way and things have just basically gone downhill. Don't worry, it happens to everyone. It's going to happen if you're going to do this business long enough. But, of course, you didn't admit you're a Private Investigator. So, there's plenty of options where we can go from here. One option would be to switch vehicles. If you know someone else with dark tint and a sun shield, you can approach that observation point on some other day in that vehicle. It'll give you a fresh start and it'll be a while before your subject realizes that there's another suspicious vehicle there. Next, you can ask for help. There might be other investigators in your agency. I've been on plenty of cases where there have been two investigators on one subject. This allows another person to remain if the subject gets suspicious of one investigator. Yeah, it stinks, but it happens. But, there are plenty of other options to do... to deal with if you get caught or made."
