How can a private detective help
For evidence of adultery, detectives should be contacted only after consulting a psychologist
According to experts, the number of requests for help to private investigators doubles each year. "Trud-7" found out how a detective can help a citizen.
Recently, Russians began to use the services of private investigators twice as much, said detective Nikita Danilov. Most of these detectives are former police officers, investigators, or lawyers. Private detectives carefully hide their methods of work, but assure: they do not allow themselves any illegal actions. “For example, filming an object is a criminal offense, it is interpreted by the investigation as an invasion of personal life,” private detective Oleg Pytov explained to Trud-7. If the detective decided to shoot, then he violates the article of the Criminal Code on the collection of information.
“If the investigator finds out about this method of work, then the question will arise of depriving the detective of a license and the right to engage in search activities,” lawyer Yevgeny Chernousov told Trud-7. The expert added that you should only contact experienced detectives, otherwise you can get into a scammer who takes the money without completing the work. In order for the detective to start working, a special contract is concluded with him. It indicates the number of the detective’s license, his passport details, the client’s request, the fee paid for the detective’s work, as well as the actions of the parties if the work was not performed or was unsatisfactory.
The Bitter Truth
Most often they turn to detectives, suspecting adultery. These are mainly women aged 30–40 years. But you should be careful in your desires to find out the truth. As the psychologist Tatyana Kornyushina told Trud-7, the news of treason can affect a person so much that it can lead to a mental disorder or hysteria. Nevertheless, as explained by Oleg Pytov, if one of the spouses suspects the other of adultery and firmly decided to hire a detective, the psychological barrier has already been overcome.
As private detective Nikolai Anatolyevich told Trud-7 (he decided not to give his last name), the expert with a 100% guarantee will give an answer if there is a split in the family. You will have to fork out for information obtained about adultery: an hour of work of a detective costs from 1 thousand rubles, depending on the complexity of the task and confidentiality. Experts say that they provide only information about where and with whom the spouse was. “We do not present any photo or video materials as evidence,” Oleg Pytov explained.
If a private investigator is ready to make a video shoot, then this employee is unscrupulous. “If one of the spouses still persuades the detective to shoot, then he will automatically become an accomplice in the crime,” said Pytov. After the information received, you need to track the person yourself and understand whether the spouse is really cheating. And if the information is confirmed, then you should decide whether to file for divorce or not. As explained by Nikita Danilov, adultery is not a reason for divorce. “It’s impossible to write in the column“ Reason for divorce ”the words“ systematically changed ”, but only -“ did not agree on the characters, ”the expert explained.
Missing person
They are looking for detectives and missing people. “Police officers are not always willing to take up searches,” Nikita Danilov explained. “This is due more to the heavy workload of law enforcement than to unprofessionalism.” Experts refused to disclose the methods used by detectives, citing confidentiality.
But they made it clear: in six out of seven cases, a missing person can be found. True, there are cases for which detectives do not undertake. “No one will agree to look for a 90-year-old grandfather suffering from unconsciousness,” Danilov explained. The service of finding a person will cost the client a tidy sum - from 40 thousand rubles. “This is not the biggest money when it comes, for example, to a missing child,” the detective added.
Find the thief
According to Oleg Pytov, apartments for theft are not chosen by chance: first, thieves learn about what is stored in the house - jewelry, money. Then they observe the owners and find out when they are not at home. And only after that they decide on a crime. The detective believes that he can help the victim identify the criminal, and sometimes return the stolen.
“For example, if a person has recently been repaired, then most likely the theft was committed on a tip from the workers,” Pytov explained. The detective believes that this information can serve as a clue by which to find criminals. In this case, the services of a detective will cost dearly - from 30 thousand rubles, and if the detective needs to leave to open a case in another city, then the client pays for the tickets. It does not follow
do only detective services: you need to write a statement to the police.
If the detective finds a thief, then he will have to immediately transfer information to law enforcement agencies and retire.
Car theft
As Pytov said, if a person was stolen from a car, the detective will most likely not be able to
help the victim and give up the case. In this case, experts do not advise contacting detectives.
According to the expert, if the theft occurred from the courtyard of the house, temporary parking at a cafe or a store, the car was most likely already driven into a specially prepared garage, where it was dismantled for sale for details or repainted and interrupted. “There is no guarantee that the stolen car will be found,” Nikolai Anatolyevich said.
If the car was stolen from a guarded parking lot, where video surveillance is being conducted, a private investigator can set about searching. “But in this case, success will be only 20%,” Pytov commented on the situation.
