Suffolk County Private Investigator, Nassau County Private Investigator, New York City - Wire Taps

There have been many inquiries regarding "phone taps." It is illegal to tap (eavesdrop) a phone unless by law enforcement and court approved! It is ONLY legal to tap a phone when an eavesdropping warrant is issued by the court, for that particular device or line. There is an incredible burden of proof needed to obtain a warrant for this. There is also the "exhaustion" rule. You must have exhausted all other means (and you must prove that to the court) of investigation as well as proving the phone, fax machine etc., is being used to commit crimes.

Suffolk County Private Investigator - Video Time Stamps - A thing of the past

Some years ago, video timestamps were the normal procedure for documenting time and date that a video was taken. Anyone who has been questioned "on the stand" as to the possibility of the time stamp being altered, can attest to the fact that time stamps are antiquated and simply not usable today.
Video time stamps are only as accurate as the time that is manually set in the video camera. As many defense attorney's use a strategy to put doubt in a jury's mind or to attempt to discredit a witness, they have often questioned the accuracy of the time and date. Questions arise such as: Can the time be altered? Did YOU set the time? How do we know FOR A FACT that this was correct? etc, etc. Now we all know that it is simply a tactic to throw doubt into the minds of jurors. Answered truthfully and convincingly will usually counter the attempt to put doubt into the validity of your evidence. But some juries are taken by it and influenced. Someone experienced in court testimony (meaning hundreds of hours of actual testimony in a variety of hearings and court cases) can almost always turn the attack around and make the attorney look foolish. But a large majority of private investigators do not posses the experience.
We do not use time stamps. We haven't since our inception. Back in my NYPD days, we ran into this issue. It was easily remedied. We simply capture video of a cellular phone displaying the current date and time. Periodically during a video, the time and date will again be captured. Cell phone time can't be changed. Another method that has become of more use with recent technology, is to make a voice request for satellite time. This too, can not be altered. We use this for periodic time checks during video capture to maintain time continuity.
These methods kill the defense of altered time. It has been proven to work. I highly recommend it.

Suffolk County Private Investigator,Nassau County Private Investigator - Video Documentation or Still Photography, Suffolk County Private Investigator

Posted by Suffolk County Private Investigator:

Clients and we investigators are increasingly using and requesting video documentation as opposed to traditional still photographs. At Long Island Private Investigator, a Suffolk County private investigator, Nassau County private investigator and New York City private investigator, we have been favoring video for years.
Our investigators are always equipped with both High Definition Camcorders and also with still cameras. usually, video does tell the better story. Still pictures are used for identification purposes or other types of cases needing that particular documentation, such as a picture of a dwelling, building, auto or a person needing to be identified. But for the majority of cases, such as cheating partner or infidelity, and insurance fraud, child care and divorce, video has a clear advantage.
There are no issues with video in regards to lighting. With cameras, there are lighting limitations when trying to be covert. We can obtain low light pictures without the use of flash photography, but not in complete darkness without infra-red. Infra-red still photos can be are "fuzzy." Infra-red video, on the other hand, is better quality, and we can record in virtually any light; even in total darkness. No concerns about slow shutter speed, blurring, etc. With video,it is all automatically processed.
In addition, with video, we can capture quality stills directly from the video. With High Definition camcorders, the captured still photos are of fantastic quality. So that completely ends the need for still photography in many cases.
In conclusion, there continues to be a small place in the documentation of investigations, for still cameras. But video has become the tool of choice.
