Searchers on a fee. When can I contact private detectives?

At least six detective agencies are registered in Ulyanovsk. The cost of their services is from two thousand rubles, and they offer a search for people and cars, a “loyalty test” and so on. From a legal point of view, some of them walk along the edge of a knife - it is difficult to determine the line where detective services end and the invasion of privacy begins.

Out of all six organizations, only one publishes its rates - the rest are dispensed with vague phrases, such as "setting the price for sensitive problems is difficult ...". Nevertheless, they indicate: prices do not bite. In addition to these organizations, there are several single detectives. We will not give the names of specific organizations, but we will try to understand the services they provide.

Now don't be fooled

Imagine: you are the owner of a company and are looking for a supplier of material that you have never previously ordered. What is the chance that you will not fall for scammers, for those who offer low-quality material (which you still do not understand) that they will "throw" you? A detective agency (and this is prescribed by law) can collect information for business negotiations, find out the creditworthiness and reliability of partners, and thereby save your money. Of course, this is not at all like the mythical “verification of loyalty”, the detective is not a mysterious man in a raincoat with a camera, this is a man who breaks through the websites of the tax and the Ministry of Justice (looks at open information), calls the previous contractors of the inspected - finds out everything that you can find out for you. For doing business. Pros? This is legal, and it is really necessary. Minuses? All the same, in fact, you can do yourself or a lawyer of the organization. But in some cases, the investigation is indeed easier to entrust to a special agent.

Loyalty check

The law expressly states that it is possible to establish biographical and personal information only with the consent of a person. That is, it is simply impossible to follow her husband if he has not given consent to this. However, detectives themselves find loopholes - on their websites they report that illegal tracking means include hacking e-mail, wiretapping of the phone - only law enforcement officials can do this. But photographing, video recording, recording to a voice recorder, if they are carried out in public places, they do not consider prohibited. Like outdoor surveillance. To contact or not? If you suspect a spouse of treason, perhaps you both need a psychologist, not a detective. From a formal point of view, agencies are not entitled to collect information about a person without his consent.

Search better

But in the case of searching for property missing through your fault, feel free to contact the detectives. Law enforcement agencies will only help if the property is stolen. The cost of the service, of course, bites (from 10 thousand rubles or more), but if the item is expensive as a memory and you really really want to find it ... And this is absolutely legal. The search for missing people is absolutely legal. The service cost seems to be relatively inexpensive - from 2,500 rubles. Applied in cases where they can not find a distant relative, or childhood friend, or first love. In principle, the entire list of search activities can be carried out independently - no special powers are needed for this. The detective will do it faster and more professionally - he will find traces on the Internet, on social networks, check open data in the register of legal entities and other official documents, ring the organization, and at the output you will receive either the address or phone number of a person who can be guaranteed with contact him.

Help in court

The collection of information on criminal cases by legal means is absolutely legal on a contractual basis with the participants in the process. However, the private investigator must notify the inquiry bodies, investigator or court in writing about their work. The collection of information for participants in administrative processes is also legal (on a contractual basis), a detective can also be hired to establish the disclosure of trade secrets (and here, tacit surveillance is possible within acceptable limits). And detectives can help find a debtor, but for this you must have an executive document in your hands. Whether to use this category of services is your own business, but remember: investigators, bailiffs and other representatives of government agencies are required to do the same (except for collecting information for the civil process) for free.

Instead of output

Detective services are for the most part not “cinematic” revelations of unfaithful spouses, this is a monotonous job of collecting information for the courts, business negotiations, this is the search for missing people and lost property. Is it possible to say that agents will cope with these tasks better than yourself? Depends on the reputation of a particular agency. And whether his employees are engaged in “window dressing” with cameras, spy microphones (dummies, because the real ones are illegal) or they are doing real work, including extremely dusty ones, in archives and tax authorities.

Help "NG"

The activities of detective agencies are regulated by the law "On Private Detective and Security Activities in the Russian Federation." This normative act allows the search for missing citizens, the search for a person who is a debtor, his property on executive documents, the collection of information on civil cases, etc. The right to take measures restricting the constitutional rights of citizens (collection of information about citizens without their written consent, unspoken observation, listening to negotiations, etc.), private agencies are not endowed.

Specialist Comment

Alexander Mordvinov, lawyer:

- At present, the activities of detective agencies are not widespread, but the potential of their capabilities is quite wide, and in some cases their help may be simply irreplaceable. For example, the police are not obliged to search for lost property, although, paying tribute, in some cases, assistance is provided to citizens (with the loss of a cell phone, car). So, as a general rule, if a crime or an administrative offense has not been committed against a citizen, the police are not required to conduct search activities. In this case, you need to contact private detective agencies.
