Introduction:

Surveillance is perhaps the best-recognized facet of private investigation, yet it is simultaneously one of the most misunderstood. Popular media and various misconceptions have led many to form some pretty incorrect opinions about what surveillance is and how it works. At Easton Secure Solutions LLC, serving NYC and Long Island, we are a company that embraces transparency and ethics. Let's take a closer look at five of the most common myths about surveillance services and set the record straight on what one can truly expect from professional investigators.

Myth 1: Surveillance is illegal.

One of the biggest myths is that surveillance violates the law. In truth, licensed private investigators adhere to strict legal guidelines. For us at Easton Secure Solutions, LLC, being licensed in New York State requires adherence to all state and federal laws so that any surveillance activities conducted do not violate privacy rights or ethical guidelines. Utilizing professional services will ensure that you remain on the right side of the law.

Myth 2: Surveillance Yields Instant Results

Thanks to TV shows and movies, many believe surveillance provides quick and dramatic breakthroughs. However, real-life surveillance requires patience, meticulous planning, and sometimes extended periods of observation. Professional investigators use advanced tools and strategies, but the process often involves careful analysis and persistence to uncover accurate, actionable information.

Myth 3: Anyone Can Conduct Surveillance

While technology has made basic recording devices more accessible, effective surveillance requires specialized training, experience, and resources. Licensed private investigators, such as those at Easton Secure Solutions, LLC, have access to Tier 1 data, credit headers, and DMV records for skip tracing. Our expertise ensures that evidence is gathered legally and holds up to scrutiny if used in court.

Myth 4: Surveillance Involves Constant Action

Another myth is that there is never a dull moment in surveillance. The truth is, most of it is waiting and observing. Professional private investigators are trained to be discreet and patient, capturing the most important moments without being noticed. The ability to blend into the environment and adapt to changing situations is key to successful surveillance.

Myth 5: Surveillance Is Invasive

Some people are concerned that surveillance is invasive by nature or even unethical. At Easton Secure Solutions, LLC, we respect ethical boundaries and ensure all activities are done responsibly. Licensed investigators adhere to strict regulations, balancing the need for information with respect for the rights of individuals. Our clients can be assured that we operate with integrity and professionalism.
