It’s a common, media-driven misconception about private investigators: that they either can obtain private information or that they are willing to break the law in order to get it. Many people do not realize that there are laws surrounding audio and video surveillance, obtaining text message and phone records, accessing medical records, and using GPS trackers.
This is always what we do:
a) Educate our client and continue working with them,
b) Try to find a way to legally obtain the information.
As a license private investigator in Singapore, we are governed by the law and strongly advise to adhere to the code of conduct. We believe the proper means of obtaining the information is important to protect the client and us, as illegal obtain the information is dismissal in court and subject to counter suit by others party.
