Is my wife fucking her very tan tennis instructor?

Do you have your own theme music? Something mysterious and jazzy...

How do you feel about being called a private dick?

Oh, and I'll use this tripcode.

Are you a phantom who serves as the moral compass in a famous stageplay?

he OP

how did you get into the business? what does your job consist of?

how would someone like me get into the business? are you self employed?

>>8963431

Yes.

>>8963438

This is real life.

>>8963441

Great.

what's the most fucked up/scandalous case you've ever had?

How do you feel about the Keene Act?

>>8963455
Haha, that didnt take long.

Farewell!

how does one become a p.i.? do you need to go to school for anything? and how much do you charge?

thanks for answering

Did I compromise your career by ascertaining your identity?

Is your career MORE or LESS fucked up than Jerry Springer, Maury Povich, or an episode of Cheaters?

>>8963453

I worked in the police force for a number of years, then when I retired I decided to become a private detective using the skills I learnt. This seems to be the common way to get into this business. I am self employed, I set up the business when I retired from the police force and used some of the contacts I met.

>>8963455

Damn. I'm so used to living in my own fantasies.

Do you have a gun?
Did you Pull it?
Did you shoot?
Did you kill?

>>8963489
>>8963489


how hard is it to be a PI?

do you enjoy what you do?

>>8963420
Pay? Hours?

Fun? Danger?

Oh and guns guy down there
>>8963511

Got another job? What is it?

How do you get good...investigating skills (do you have like criminal informants or something?)

Ya know, tell us.

have you ever done a rorschach test?

Have you ever watched Bored to Death?

Alright, now the I (the real OP have a tripcode, thanks to this gentlemen >>8963443)

>>8963441
I am actually never called a Private Dick, I thought I would
>>8963451
Sometimes
>>8963453
The way I actually got into the job was I was tired of the person I had become. I'm actually 20, but hated who I was. I changed my clothes, my attitude and started learning random things like lockpicking. I kinda an interesting in stalking people and monitoring people for fun. Eventually I was hired by a friend to follow his girlfriend and sure enough, she was cheating.
Once I realized I COULD actually do it, I applied to a PI company, but still freelance if work is slow.
>>8963461
Had to find some missing kids.
>>8963472
Hate it.

I'm sorry for not using a trip code earlier, I have learned from my mistake..

>>8963559
What are you getting at?

Do i have to break your fingers or something?

>>8963583
Did you find her burned clothes in a stove?

Was she killed, butchered, and fed to the bastards german shepards?

Do you live in a run down apartment in a bad part of new york and have one of those eyes on the door?

Ever got caught in the act?

>>8963455
Because retired cops come on 4chan all the time.
I am the real OP, sorry for not using a tripcode first time round.


>>8963479
how does one become a p.i.? do you need to go to school for anything? and how much do you charge?

You can do it as a hobby, while not actually legal (you need a license). The easiest way to get a license is to actually get a Security Guards license, most of the time it acts a both. The actual course is mainly legal shit, very boring. Security license cost about $100 to take the test where I am.

>>8963538
Pay? Hours? Fun? Danger?

I'm paid anywhere between $200-$1000 with my company. With my own contracts I dont charge much, usually around $300. I like doing it, its actually pretty fun. The hours are whatever it takes to, could take weeks (which usually piss people off) or it could take a day, depends. It can be very dangerous, I trained in Combat Judo and carry a Knife.

>>8963653
Did you find her burned clothes in a stove?
Was she killed, butchered, and fed to the bastards german shepards?

No, it was a brother (8) and sister (11) pair
who had been taken by their dad. When I found them they had been shoot up with heroine.

>>8963673
No, my girlfriend and I rent out a small 2 floor house.

>>8963679
Ever got caught in the act?

Yes, my third real case, and I got the shit beaten out of me.

Have you ever shoot any one?

>>8963745
Links to story?

Feels sad man.

>>8963431
I laughed. Yes, yes she is, olol.

>>8963771
Have you ever shoot any one?

No, I do not use a gun.

>>8963745

how/why did they let you live when you got caught? how badly were you hurt? how did you escape/survive?

What are common ways you conduct surveillance?

>>8963455
DAMMIT!! THAT BITCH! I KNEW IT!!! Alright. Here's your money, and I'm doubling your per diem as a bonus. Just forward the pics to my divorce lawyer. I don't even want to see them.

>>8963779
Links to story?
Feels sad man.

No links, no story, no news reports. No one gave a fuck. A couple of Native kids go missing people don't care.
People don't know what goes on around them.
This one of the cases I don't talk to my girlfriend about.

Have you ever thought about becoming a Bounty Hunter?

If I became a bounty hunter, would you be willing to be the information gatherer while I go and do the actual arrest? We'll split the money evenly.

There will be a lot of moving around involved and what not, but it'd be fun/dangerous (often synonymous terms in my book).

I'm asking because I want to do something after my stint in the Army is done.

>>8963829
how/why did they let you live when you got caught? how badly were you hurt? how did you escape/survive?

Typical follow cheater around deal. Wore the same too many times and I guess he finally noticed me, caught me by surprise with one of those fucking club things you put on your steering wheel. Broke my wrist, 2 fingers and other minor injuries. I retard strengthed about two punches but it didn't do shit. Lucky for my ass a patrol car was in the area and someone flagged them down.

>>8963862
What are common ways you conduct surveillance?

The most common method I use to follow on food, 10 steps back 4 to the left most of the time. Wear headphones that aren't plugged in, sunglasses that I remove later. Other times I'll follow via car. the company has several cars you can use other than your own.
Moderately tinted windows for taking photos, iPhone for more discreet photos.

>>8963953
I've thought of it, but the girlfriend would give me shit haha.
When I say I moonlight as a PI, I'm not joking. Most of my time is taking up by University as I am a Molecular Biology major, hoping to go into Medicine.

I am actually going to be heading of with the military in a short while to be trained as a medical officer.

What kind of camera do you use?

Ever tracked people you know just to see what they get up to?

>>8964089

Well, best case scenario then is that you become a source if I ever roll into your state. Moonlighting, huh? I plan to be a full-time bounty hunter.

Then, I'll drink myself to oblivion or something.

Yeah...

>>8964109

>>8964121
Canada bro.

>>8964136
Sometimes, I've found out some pretty fun shit. It is slightly harder because they will recognize you.
Stalked my girlfriend for a while (while we were dating and before I started taking serious jobs), luckily she's no cheater, quite boring actually.

I'm interested in this. Can you give some tips?

>>8964335
Absolutely. Ask me anything you want to know, or do you just want general tips?

This is gonna sound kind of dumb, but when you're on a stakeout, do you read or something? I mean, you could be sitting in your car for hours.

What is your:

Age:
Height:
Weight:
Build:
Hair/Color:
Clothes Style:
Vehicle:
Education:
Defense Weapon:
Frequency of masturbation:
Frequency of sex?

>>8964486
Of course not! You go on 4chan!

>>8964518
Yeah, sometimes random books, others textbooks. Sometimes I have an game boy. Random shit. The trick is to only use it shortly and to not get to into it. On "stake outs" (which dont happen as often as you think, and when they do they're usually around 30 minutes to 2 hours) I just hold the book on par with the window so that I can see anything major happening, like if someone leaves a building or something. iPods are wonderful creations.

>>8964486
Age: 20
Height: 6 feet and 1/2 inch
Weight: 165 lbs
Build: Muscle, but only with the heavy add of supplements (not roids, but why etc). I have trouble putting weight on.
Hair/Color: Dark Brown
Clothes Style: Classic, but not hipster fag. Peacoats etc. No trench coats.
Vehicle: Varies.
Education: 3rd year Molecular Biology, Licensed PI
Defense Weapon: 4.5 inch switch blade, cougar on the hilt.
Martial Arts: Combat Judo
Frequency of masturbation: Twice a week MAX
Frequency of sex? Nightly with girl friend, unless she's not in the mood or on period.
Penis Size: 5 Inches (small I know, but my girlfriend is very petite)

>>8964656

I have actually. For /s/ to pass the time.

You don't use a gun? Would you ever consider carrying a taser or pepper spray?

>>8964388

General tips. Guidelines you have followed that have granted you success in this job.

Also, do you work out at all? Have any sort of training in Thai Boxing or Karate or anything?

Holy fuck, OP was on a job and now he's dead!

He won't be able to delete his history now. That'll be embarassing!

>>8964703
You don't use a gun? Would you ever consider carrying a taser or pepper spray?
No, but I am considering buying mainly for the sake of protecting my girlfriend. You make enemies. Taser I couldn't get if tried other than a little anti-rape taser women carry. Pepper Spray is illegal where I am, but apparently Bear spary isn't, which I carry in my car.

>>8964708
General tips. Guidelines you have followed that have granted you success in this job.

-99% of people are pussies and pushovers. If you talk firm to them and you'll get what you want. Some people might give you a tough act, but it will crack.
-CONFIDENCE. Easier said than done. You need it and thats the bottom line. I practiced my calling random people and tried to start a conversation. Stop at random peoples house and ask for directions. Just talking to people helps.
-Learn to pick a lock, actually comes in handy for small things.
-Learn to defend yourself. I highly recommend Combat Judo, you can fuck people up very badly, very quickly and be gone before people know whats going on.
-If you aren't who you want to be, then change. Again, easier said than done, but I did it. I wanted to be like the old PI movies, so I set out to be that. Lie. Lie enough and eventually you become who you say you are.
-Learn any random skill you can.
-Be prepared to have boring jobs and be prepared to have very fucked up cases.
-Watch Gore. Odd I know, but slowly it will desensitize you.
-People very very very rarely notice you following them. Follow random people in public for practice
-Cops will have your back on most shit.
-Cops do favors for you, you do favors for cops.

I'll post more in a minute.

>>8964967

>bear spray

holy shit dude

does that stuff MELT YOUR FACE or something?

>>8965053
Never used it, but I assume so.

>>8965053

It's Bear Grylls repellant

>>8964967

Combat Judo? Is that plain Judo or...?

>>8965223
Regular Judo is like sport Judo, throws, flips, shit like that.

Combat Judo takes it and changes it to more useful in a flight, easier to break a guys wrist, etc.

How would a 19 year old high school drop out with a GED become a PI? Take some law courses in college or what?

>>8965304
Fuck no.
Just google where you can take the actual PI training in you area.
Did it, apply to every company around you.
Freelance yourself out till you get into a company.

i dont think anyone asked this yet but, how much cash do you make per month?

>>8965272

Are you a U.S. citizen? If so, how easy is it to find somewhere to learn Combat Judo? Can you recommend any other ACTUALLY USEFUL styles to learn?

>>8965304
Military service might also help.
Get into shape if your not.

>>8965346
I can pull in anywhere from to $0 - $5500.
My girlfriend pulls in enough to cover if its a slow month. Most I ever made was ~$6800.

>>8965344

I'm Canadian. I took Combat Jubo because I'm not much of a puncher. I have the long arms, but its just not my thing. I prefer CJ because through grappling you can injure people very easily. If you've ever been in a fight you'll know that its not really a boxing match. You both get a couple of swings in then your faces are 2 inches apart and your randomly swinging and grabbing whatever your can. I prefer CJ because if I can stave off those first few shots it game over for the other job.
IF you're got th arm behind the punch, then go into Boxing, with proper training you'll be able in end the fight quicker and me more conditioned to a fight. Most other martial arts are fucking stupid and completely useless.

>>8965470

Canadian, eh? Damn. Well, hopefully I can find some way to learn CJ. I have really long arms, but I'm pretty scrawny, not much weight to put behind a punch.

I hope it's as easy to become a P.I. in the states as it is in Canada.

More of the kidnapped kids OP?

>>8965595

2nd
Details required.
You said anything.

>>8965704
>>8965595

Company was contracted by family members of the kids, mothers side.
Took 2 1/2 weeks to find, put a lot of strain on my relationship with my girlfriend. Missed a lot of my University classes.
Talked to Child Services (Family was Native, therefore poverty), got the details on the dad.
When to his workplace, some machine shop, asked around, got access to his locker.
When through his shit, nothing to important other than some things that pointed to him having another girlfriend.
Asked around about her. Not many people know about her, only knew she would meet him and go out for lunch on his breaks Finally got a name for the girlfriend from a Subway a fews blocks away in the form of a Credit Card recite from the Manager.
Got the address of the girlfriend from the Police.
Waited outside for several hours, the father finally came home (stopped at beer store), quickly got out of my car and jumped the him. Quick kick to the back of the leg followed by hitting his head against the ground. I have Special Constable statues, which means I can carry handcuff, so I cuffed him and ziptied his legs.
Called 911 and had them dispatched.
Rang the doorbell, waited for girlfriend to open and pulled her to the ground and ziptied her.
When inside to find they had been shooting up the kids for entertainment and that they had OD'd, probably the day before.
Cops show up, shit storm ensues.
Thats the quick version.

>>8965928

Man, that's fucked up. Did it get you a lot of publicity?

Also, what parts of being a P.I. do you hate the most?

>>8966094
No, I was simply described as an agent for the company and it was really only in the news for about 6 hours, then there was bus crash later that day and everyone forgot.

THAT is what I hate.
That and not being able to finish a contract.

Feels bad bro...feels real bad...

How do you deal with it?

>>8966211
Short answer is a abuse sleeping pills and see a therapist once a month.

You bring up your girlfriend a lot. What's she like? What does she think about your job? How'd you guys meet and how does she cope with your job if she does have an issue with it?

how do I spot a private investigator?

>>8966294
My girlfriend is amazing.
She supports every decision I make.
We met in grade 3 and were best friends.
She is very petite (5 foot 1 inch, 90 pounds). Red hair.
She's the kind of chick that no matter how much shit goes down, she still somehow manages to keep some sense of innocences.
Also a University student (Physics).

She copes by justifying that what I do is what makes me happy, and thats the most she ask for, to make me happy.
Her Mom died when she was 14 (tumor), and her sister was killed in a car crash at 16, father ran away with new girlfriend later that year and she ended up moving with my family, so she knows how to cope and she know how to move on.

>>8966356
Quick Way:
Rarely makes eye contact with you.
This is because we are observing you when your not loking at us, so when you do spot us, were fiddling with our iPod or talking on the phone.

Other than that, you don't.

>>8966400
Your life sounds fucking awesome/crazy.
It just sounds like a plot for a movie really.

>>8966440
Getting kicked out of your house at 17 makes you man the fuck up fast.

I am who I want to be. It's really that simple.
If you want something to be different, change it.
No one out there in the world gives a flying fuck about you, they have their own problems.
Be who you want to be, and awesome shit will follow.

>>8966496
All of /r9k/ needs to read this paragraph.

>>8966518

A former History Major turned Armored Gunner told that to me. Thats what stared it off for me. He's still kicking ass in Afghanistan.

It seems that this is the end of this thread.
Thank you everyone for participating.
I hope you learned something.

Thanks OP. You have inspired me. Good luck out there brobot.

I use a fake dummy e-mail, iii.69@live.com.

If anyone has any further questions, just fire it off to there.

Bye.

thank you op
one of the greatest threads i have ever been blessed enough to take part in, best of luck on your future

>>8966518
agreed

It should be posted in big letters at the top of the page

>>8967938

Agreed, bring /r9k/ back to its former glory!

>>8964089
"I am actually going to be heading of with the military in a short while to be trained as a medical officer."

HOLY SHIT YOU'RE LIKE A REAL LIFE DR. WATSON

Hey OP, can you recommend any good books on the art of being a PI?

How much training did it take? If I was to go to a "Private Investigator School" how long would it take/what sort of course work do they cover?

Isn't basically tracking people using intellius and facebook?

How is being an irl PI different from a Dashell Hammet or Raymond Chandler novel?

OP, if I want to keep tabs on someone's online activities for illegal purposes, how can I route their computer's data packets directly through my system?

>>8968700
My thoughts exactly, who do you think was my hero growing up?
>>8968791
Nothing I've ever found to be honest, most of the stuff I learned from actual PI's and PDFs I downloaded.

>>8968801
I never took the training, but it varies based on your location, anywhere from a few weeks to several months.
They'll cover boring legal shit and some basic PI tricks.
And yes, Facebook certainly makes my job a lot easier with some cases. People are friend whores and will add complete strangers i.e. My fake account, which ironically has more friends than my real facebook account.

>>8969937
I'm a Molecular Biologist and a PI, not a Computer Engineer.
However there is a program I have used (its name eludes me right now, it will come back eventually). Basically load it onto a USB, slap it into their computer, upload the file and whenever they are connected to the internet you will be able to access anything on their computer.

I do realize that my tripcode is different, but my internet went out and I forgot the original combination, I apologies.

goddamn it poeople, archive this!!
there is some damn good information here and its the first good thread in a long time!

I've used that program to spy on my sister.

>>8969973
PDFs? Links, please.

>>8969937
Where in Alberta?

Do you ever call 'broads' 'dames'?

If your story got made into a movie, who would you cast as yourself?

Journalistfag here, your story is fascinating, I'd like to get in touch with you and have you dump me your entire story or something via email.

>>8970124

There's way to many, just Rapid shit like lock picking, photography, Persuasion, SAS handbook Guild, hell even Combat Judo is there.
I personally don't have the links, I've had the PDFs for a long time, but just look around. You can find anything from seducing women to making pipebombs.

Sorry I can't be more specifically helpful.

Have you ever thought of taking the law into your own hands, when you have a case where the guy is so scummy that you just want him dead?

>>8970149
I do call my girlfriend that sometimes and it makes her mad.
>>8970172
My e-mail is posted in a previous comment, I'd have to get back to you on the casting. To be honest I wouldn't make it into a movie.

>>8970124
Ask /k/ they have loads of pdfs on combat / surveilance etc

>>8970206
Responding officers to the Child Abduction scene let me "question" the before they took him, at which point I broke his wrist and knocked out a few teeth.
And yes there have been times where I have taken things into my own hands, one specific case was a drug addict raped a friend of him, I dislocated his jaw and had his house raided.

>>8970243
Pretty much sums up what I was thinking.
Thanks.

How many cases have you done, total?

Do you consider yourself a modern-day vigilante?

I also suggest everyone head over to 4chan archive and try to archive this thread, as some people have found this information helpful.

>>8970291
fuck you're cool, my life looks stupid now.

>>8970253
Wait, so he abducted the kid did he raped it?

>>8970281

32 with the Company

13 Freelance

Yes and No.
In there end there is usually a paycheck, but sometimes I will go above what is needed for moral reasons.

Thanks for your request.
It has been added to our database and the thread will be archived as soon as enough request for that thread have been made.
This thread has been bloxrequested 4 times now.

>>8970321
Just saw the word father was missing.
Short version: father abducts his kids, girlfriend shoots them up with drugs, kids OD

have you ever been in trouble with the law for what you do on the case?

>>8970336

Great!
We just need 3 more!
Do your part people.

What sort of cases would you do pro bono?

>>8970172
If you wish to contact me later, use the e-mail : iii.69@live.com

Have you got any sidekicks?

>>8970376
Yes, when I started I kicked in a few too many door (literally) and roughed up a few to many people.
I was a little to excited.
Cops basically told me chill the fuck out and try not to get caught.

>>8970388
None, unless there is a favor done in return. I'm in to pay for my University.
>>8970417
4,434. All of which died terrible, terrible deaths.

>>8970422
OP just to let you know you inspired me to become a P.I starting tommorow.

I was in the Canadian army, and a former locksmith apprentice (I know how to pick dead bolts and most locks)

>>8970450

If you ever need advice or anything, just give me an e-mail.

So OP you mentioned you got a license to carry a gun, how does that work, you did you got your special constable status?

When it comes to cheating cases, are most of the clients husbands wanting to check on wives, or wives checking on husbands?

>>8970461
Well, what province you're in and did you need any schooling before you got hired from the company?

The most important is -- HOW DO I GET EMPLOYMENT.

2 away from an archive, but I have a suspicion its not going to make it....someone is slacking....

do multiple PI's ever work on a case at the same time?

>>8970462
Came through the company.
>>8970465
60% women, 40% men usually.
>>8970473
Ontario. Call/e-mail/show up at every PI company you can. They'll tell you theres no openings or your not qualified, but thats bullshit, they just want to see how well you can persuade them. Don't ever give up, took me 3 companies to get in.

>>8970476
Rarely, unless its a very large case or a very important one.

Whoever submits the last archive request will truely be a hero.

I have to say I look up to you OP.

>>8970525
Is have a car VERY crucial to getting a job? I'm going to get my full car license but no car yet.

come on archive you fat fucks!!!

>>8970540
Yes and No.
While nice and convenient, not required.

how long are you going to do this?

Gentle I just got an import call I've been waiting for and it seems I need to now go and actually do my job.
Its been great, you have my e-mail if you have further questions.
Thank you all for your participation.
Enjoy your night.

Okay tell me of the private cases you have done, and how you gotten them ... I'm more interested working as a stand alone P.I then working for a company.

what is your current case you are working on? or your last case. details please

hey, archived
nice

was a surprisingly inspiring/awesome thread here
and apparently OP lives a wicked-cool hardboiled PI life

im in uk, anyome in uk know if you need license?

god the sound and intro to that website makes me wanna do it too

http://www.tomconnell.com/

How hard boiled are you? Do you have a stylish hat? Do you like candy corn?

ANTI PI TACTIC.

Always look behind you when you walk.

Do your parents know that you're a faggot?

Another anti-pi trick is to walk around in a desert street and walk if anyone is following you

just sent away an enquiry

good morning.

i have been looking into and have been on a few websites with the view to becoming a private investigator.

i am currently a student at xxx University and i am looking for a job to get myself through university.

i would be interested in hearing more about your company and if possible working for you.

i have looked into the police career and if i do go down this route, CID is definitely the area that interests me the most. similarly i have been interested in a military career - the art of the sniper is something that truly excites me, i love the ideology of espionage.

rather than undertake freelance work i would rather work for an established company and learn from the current crop.

thanks if you took the time to read this.
i anticipate your response.

.

Wow, OP. If I weren't an Australian (combination of shit-all happening and tightarse laws) this thread would've inspired me to become a PI.
I'd request for archive, but it's already archived.

Hey OP

your job is really stupid.

Just go be a cop.

>>8970639
you sure noticed he have different tripcode now

>>8970933
Right, because that makes sense. I actually do something and have a house with my girlfriend, and I'm a faggot.
What excatly makes you qualified to top that?

Why don't I become a cop? Simple, I don't want to. I plan on apply for Med School next year when my degree is
done.

Private cases usually invovle a suspicious husband or wife, sometimes people want me to
get dirt on an employee or a boss, I had o follow a women teenage kid around to find
out if he was using drugs.

And if you were wondering, last night wasn't very eventful. Waited for a call to go meet a guy at a McDonalds, just for him to tell me a bunch of shit I already know.
I actually have 2 current cases, one is a cheating spouse, who I'm just compiling the evidence now to present the case and the other is involving a womend run away teenage daughter. A little more sad and difficult.

I'm going to be out all day, so don't count on a response.

Found the original Tripcode I used, so I'll just confirm all other Tripcode I was using was in fact my posts.

Also for those so said they e-mailed me, there are no new messages in my inbox.
The email was: iii.69@live.com.

As if this bullshit got archived.
Its clearly all a fake.

>>8970991
People try that, it doesn't really work, we're too far behind for you to notice, or on the other side of the street.

>>8971042
As flattering as having someone want to work for me, the fact is I'm a small time PI. I work for a company, I freelance myself out when the occasion arises. Truthfully there are far more bad-ass PI's working around me.
