Global Positioning System (GPS) Surveillance - Suffolk County Private Investigator, Nassau County Private Investigator New York City

Posted by Suffolk County Private Investigator:

There are many variables regarding the use of GPS devices for surveillance purposes. First, there is the legal issue. Depending on your state laws, you can or cannot use a GPS device to track someone. In New York, so long as there is permission from the owner, it is legal. This type of surveillance tool is used mainly in matrimonial cases where the vehicle is considered owned by both parties. We also conduct many "teen tracking" cases, when hired by concerned parents.
GPS as a tool is wonderful. But it is just that..a tool. It does not replace physical surveillance. Think about it; you can track a vehicle and monitor it's location. But what does the subject do when the vehicle stops? Where do they go? Only an investigator at the scene can find out. That's why it's a tool and not a substitute for surveillance.
In many cases, it can eliminate the need for a second investigator, therefor cutting costs to the client dramatically. It also serves as an assurance that the subject will not be "lost," as can happen during any surveillance.
At Long Island Investigations, we use the latest devices on the market, which we recently upgraded, as technology in this area changes often. We can locate the subject vehicle virtually anywhere, including garages, tunnels and other locations traditional GPS devices fail. Our device has a three step locater that uses cellular and GPS locates. The device is smaller than a cell phone and has a thirty day battery life. We can easily secrete the device inside or outside the vehicle, with little chance of the device being detected.
Our GPS tracker has been proven to work flawlessly in our coverage area of Nassau County, Suffolk County and New York City. It is normally accurate within six feet!
