Has private died? Spy devices – Private Detective’s report

Taking a walk around 2 very popular shopping malls in London introduced our Private Detectives to something that we hadn’t previously seen anywhere else. A huge section dedicated entirely to consumer ‘spy devices’ like hidden cameras, voice recorders hidden in objects like pens or plug adaptor, even devices that claim to be able to monitor phone calls. Usually, these products could only be found in specialist shops frequented by private detectives, now they’re part of the mainstream.

Where there are products, there are consumers and the question is, what happened that led consumers to look into products that were once the domain of law enforcement, spies and Private Detectives? Some believe it is the lack of privacy in the modern world which seemingly has become acceptable to a large portion of the population. This is because of the growth of technology and websites which make no qualms about keeping your private data and very likely, selling your data. This lack of privacy seems to have led people into believing that spying on people you know, for no matter how petty a reason is completely acceptable. This is a dangerous standard to set as the products the aforementioned companies are selling should honestly be used only when the situation really calls for it, and then to in the hands of someone trusted, like a Private Detective. A common product sold that can be considered one of the consumer spy devices is a keylogger. Used by Private Detectives, it’s a safe method of gaining information that the clients might need. But in the hands of consumers who might use it for whatever reason, usually familial, it might just make matters worse since the layman doesn’t know how to operate such technology, leading to making whoever you’re trying to spy on extremely suspicious and the same can be said about most of the consumer spy devices that might be used by anyone seriously. So if you every need to gather information about anything, no matter how small or big, don’t risk it by trying to make it a DIY job, hire our professional Private Detective’s today!
