What is Surveillance?

If you are someone who needs answers, you may be tempted to simply go it alone and get to the bottom of the matter yourself. We cannot advise you to do this, as there are various laws in place regarding stalking, harassment, and more that may land you in hot water.

However, with an experienced team of private investigators at your side, you do not have to worry about hurting your case, particularly if you plan on using our findings in a legal setting, such as in divorce court. Our firm uses perfectly legal physical, as well as electronic surveillance, and by the time we conclude our investigation, we will provide you with pictures, videos, and an exhaustive report regarding anything we learn.

How a Private Investigator Can Help

For clients looking for New London County private investigation services, it’s important to know what a PI can and cannot do for you under the law. A private investigator can review public records, interview people, run background checks, perform surveillance, and document evidence they uncover. They can also help locate people, examine digital evidence, and investigate fraud.

Keep in mind that they are bound by private investigator laws. That means they can’t trespass, hack into phones or private accounts, impersonate law enforcement, or operate without a license.

FAQs

Can You Take Someone to Court for Hiring a PI?

Hiring a private investigator alone is not enough to justify taking someone to court. However, you may have a claim if the client or investigator broke the law or violated your rights. Examples could include trespassing, harassment, illegal recording, accessing protected accounts, or publishing private information. The person who hired the investigator could also face liability if they ordered or approved unlawful conduct.

Do You Need a License to Be a Private Investigator in CT?

Connecticut generally requires anyone operating or advertising as a private investigator to hold a state license under Connecticut General Statutes §29-153. Private detective agencies and individual licenses are regulated by the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection. Investigators working for a licensed agency must also fulfill state registration requirements. Applicants must meet experience, character, background check, and other qualifications.

Will a Subject Know They’re Being Investigated?

In most cases, the subject will not know that a private investigator is conducting surveillance or gathering information. Investigators often work discreetly, use public records, and observe activities from public locations. However, complete secrecy cannot be guaranteed. A subject may notice an investigator following them or learn about the investigation in court. Investigators must still obey laws involving trespassing, harassment, and other illegal conduct, even when keeping their work confidential.

Can Evidence Collected by a PI Be Used in Court?

Evidence collected during private investigation cases may be used in court, but it is not automatically admissible. The evidence must usually be relevant, authentic, reliable, and obtained legally. Photos, videos, records, witness statements, and surveillance reports may support a civil, criminal, or family case. The investigator may need to testify about how the material was gathered and preserved. A judge has a great deal of discretion when it comes to allowing evidence obtained by a PI.
