G.P.S. Vehicle Tracking

G.P.S (when legally applicable)saves client money while helping us to exercise their right to discovery. G.P.S. has become very controversial lately, there has been law suits brought about as a result of tracking devises being used or attached to vehicles in an unprofessional manor. The positive side of this technology is that it greatly reduces the cost of surveillance for the client. This enables clients, who would otherwise not be able to afford the service they need, to move forward with allowing us to gather evidence they need to show the truth in court. This is especially important when it comes to cases where child abuse, neglect, or molestation is suspected.

We use G.P.S. when our client has an ownership interest in the vehicle being tracked. G.P.S. enables us to remotely follow the vehicle via satellite. The G.P.S. does not provide use with any information that we could not obtain by using multiple investigators to follow the vehicle,and only works when the vehicle in view of the sky.
