    is it called stalking if i were to find out where they were out of curiosity (if they were to post on their social media)? I love open source intelligence really much but it’s kind of hard to distinguish a boundary if i ended up finding their location despite it being public

    He didn’t actually answer whether or not he’s ever been spotted on the job. I’m guessing he has if he’s avoiding the question.

    I also wonder about the morality of tracking down someone. Like, what if someone is trying to escape an abusive partner and said partner hires a PI to track the victim down? Does a PI usually investigate the clients before taking them on?

  29. @Aspen7780

    October 3, 2024 at 10:55 am

    If your initial question is “how often” is your spouse is cheating, you’ve already got some big problems and you don’t need a PI.

  30. @ferretyluv

    October 3, 2024 at 11:56 am

    I feel like the most important skill for a PI to have would be a really long attention span. You have to camp out and wait for sometimes days for something to happen. No playing with your phone or anything.

    You returned a domestic abuse survivor to her abuser in a country that requires male consent to leave. That’s the point at which I no longer think you’re applying morality to this. The countries where you have to forge a male guardians signature to escape the borders of the country–and the situations where women are desperate enough to take that measure–are situations where, if you help the father get the wife and/or child back, you are working for Team Evil. I’m sure he paid you very handsomely.

    I remember reading, years ago about a business man who hired a PI to do a bug sweep of his house. He was sure his confidential information was being leaked. During the sweep the PI noticed that they had baby monitors in their bedrooms and living room. The business man was bugging himself and broadcasting it to anyone with a cheap airwave scanner.

    Who was the nut who would hire a PI before marrying someone when theres no suspicious behavior going on? What a weird idea. If you distrust people that much, you probably shouldnt be married!

  51. @Ironwill_Games

    October 4, 2024 at 10:25 am

    I always under the impression that a good PI had to have some kind of prior knowledge of investigation. Like a police man or a reporter. I was astonished he never mention what was the best PI background. Still… thanks for the video.

  58. @jon9103

    October 4, 2024 at 12:59 pm

    To be clear, that’s 70% to 75% of those who suspect their partner is cheating strong enough to actually go out of their way to hire a PI, that figure does NOT reflect the rate in the overall population. Moreover, even if the people that are that sure something is going, around a quarter to a third are wrong.

    About not forgetting to change the shoes when wanting to look different: I’ve been a human rights activist for many years, doing things like civil disobedience, and it was often a semi-serious cat-and-mouse game with undercover/plainclothes cops. The one thing you could always spot them by, were the police-issue boots that they would rarely swap out.

    Love that he clarified that the percentage of cheating couples is biased due to prior suspicion. A lot of people especiallly in the manosphere love to take those kinda of stats and say “75% of spouses are cheating!!” When in fact its “75% of spouses who suspect cheating so strongly that theyre willing to pay money to confirm it, turn out to be correct”.

  72. @BrightElk

  79. @Don.Challenger

    October 5, 2024 at 11:20 am

    That second question (after the first which dealt with the cheating husband being compromised and blackmailed/extorted) about how often is a client cheated on – My question here is: how often are cheating clients cheated on vs faithful clients being cheated on (or do you address or care about that obviously relevant question as a mark of partisanship vs fairness)?

  93. @glennchartrand5411

    October 5, 2024 at 5:46 pm

    If one spouse thinks the other is cheating but can’t find proof on their own, there’s a good chance it’s paranoia, because they already have access to a lot of detailed information.

    Infidelity is only easy to get away with when your partner trusts you, once that trust goes away it’s almost impossible to hide it

    So I’m not surprised that 1 out of 4 times the PI can’t find evidence of infidelity.

    • @formerctgovernordannelmall1452

      October 6, 2024 at 1:51 pm

      With their immediate problem of “do I know for sure whether my spouse is cheating?” Yeah.

      With any other deep seated trust issues or relationship dysfunctions they’re probably dealing with if they were going to a PI because they were that unsure.

      Prolly not.

    I imagine my wife would ask if i plan to help raise the kids or if she should just give up on me.

    I would love to try to hire a PI to learn anything about my birth parents in Russia but because the papertrail I have shows they left ‘fake’ names (aliases), ‘fake’ addresses (they had no written ID on them, everything the hospital got was taken by word of mouth only), I have a deep fear that they’ll take the money and go “whelp, didn’t find anything, sorry”. This would cost me easily $500-1000 given the circumstances and I just don’t have the money to threw for an “oops, sorry” answer.

    @14:03 I actually heard of this case. That child committed suicide 2 weeks after being returned to their father. Their child was trying to escape. The weird pauses he’s making and why the child’s father was so shocked at their child’s appearance is because of this child transitioned into living as a woman. I mean what he said about this case is not at all shocking. He knows it as a shocking case because of all the other circumstances that he’s not addressing.

    About maintaining privacy now–listen to what the man says. I have had scammers confront me with unbelievable levels of specific information about my family members to try to coerce me into transferring money, and they got it all off of information that my family was posting to their social media accounts. I don’t have any of these accounts, and the only tip off I got was that although they knew an extraordinary amount of information about my family, they knew very little about me beyond my phone number and current address.

    I imagine that if you already at the point of hiring someone to found out if your spouse is cheating, you probably already kinda know, and just don’t have proof. That’s like asking a doctor how often people they treat are sick, like I sure many people go to the hospital over nothing, but usually something is wrong when you look for help.

  151. @folkishappalachian6827

    October 8, 2024 at 10:42 am

    I imagine if its to the point you need to hire a PI there is a high chance the person being investigated is guilty, since someone had enough circumstantial evidence to warrant spending the money on a PI (not cheap)

    That being said, logically it should be a majority of the investigated cases being guilty

    I think the idea of being a PI without a license being illegal is odd. It’s perfectly legal for me to follow someone around to see if they’re a criminal or cheating on their spouse or whatever. It’s just that if someone pays me to do that, I need a license. It’s not like they’re allowed to investigate in ways that would be illegal for a normal person to do. It’s just getting paid. At least in California.

    October 9, 2024 at 12:15 pm

    Regarding surveillance devices – you CAN’T conclusively tell. You can be pretty sure, but to scan for it, it has to be emitting, and more sophisticated devices won’t start signalling if they aren’t moving, or use other measures to remain inactive when reporting isn’t needed. For instance, they may be scheduled to transmit when someone wants to know where you go at 5:00 every afternoon, or if realtime tracking isn’t needed, they may connect to the internet every five minutes, very briefly. If the scanner’s not near the device WHILE it’s actively connected, and you don’t physically clock it, then you just never know.

    A company put out an add saying that my father was still alive and wanted by the FBI. They apologized but I am not satisfied by that. I think the add scoops any first name and last name and suggests a sensational thing as a click strategy. It caused me emotional distress. I think it may have caused others suspicion about me.

    He’s wrong….Private investigator “A” goes to private investigator B’s house before private investigator B leaves for A’s house and then when he (PI “A”) follows him, he will quickly realize that private investigator B is following him, by virtue of following him back to his own house.

    I mean Blade Runner and its sequel 2049 were operating in a post-apoclyptic so there investigations can live up to modern scruintiy.
