Mobile Surveillance: Time Spent in Your Car

Video Transcript

"Hello. My name is Frank Torres and I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. And this segment is about the time spent in your vehicle during while pulling mobile surveillance. Well, here we are. I've set up my observation point. I've got my video camera ready and I'm just waiting for my subject to make a move. This is the boring part of the job. You can be here for hours at a time. And of course while your here your vehicle has to be off because there has to appear to be nobody in the vehicle. That means in the middle of July I'm sitting in a vehicle without A/C for up to eight hours. Naturally these conditions are very tough so you'll want to dress comfortably. No trench coats here. You dress to stay comfortable. Now while your here you'll want to notice other things. You could be writing reports you can be looking into other cases, but no sleeping. I know with the heat or the cold, bundled up or sweating your butt off, it might get tough to stay awake. But you have to stay alert and you have to be ready to pull your video camera out and start shooting footage at any given moment. So, stay alert. Stay sharp and you'll be able to catch your subject doing what he's not suppose to do in no time."
