Private Investigators

The Report

Available for over a year

Private investigators are coming under increasing scrutiny themselves - with the latest controversy surrounding the work they carry out for companies. Adam Fleming investigates how PIs take advantage of cameras, GPS tracking devices and legal grey areas to carry out surveillance on individuals for insurers and other clients. He also meets the people who accuse the industry of dirty tricks, as the government announces the introduction of licences for investigators.
