So, you googled Private Investigator.

You found this and being inquisitive you started reading this blog too see if you would like to be a Private Investigator, Private Detective.

Well I will attempt to give you a no holds barred insight into the world of a PI or Private Eyes.

Once in a while you may laugh its is supposed to be black humour.

If your a Police Officer reading this, Sit down pull out the donuts, check the speed camera and enjoy…PS you missed that guy you were reading this…idiot.

I mean we have all watch TV right is must be a never-ending day/week/month/series of shoot outs, doing illegal shit and not getting caught with cool cars and hot chicks.

Well No Thanks Magnum you Bullshitter.

First thing to remember, On most days, I get up at 6am, have a shower and a fart like everyone.

Pat the dog, kick the cat or is pat the wife kick the dog……no matter I’m just like you.

Da Routine Cuz

  1. My days start in the office with a very stiff cup of coffee the start of 6 for the day minimum and I clear emails.
  2. I print off any affidavits that have been sent too me and/or write the ones I need to do from the last night’s activities.
  3. I check data on subjects that I am looking for to see if it has updated and update files.
  4. Equally important, I have coffee number two, its 10am and the air con goes on, as we are in Queensland and it’s just bloody hot all the time.
  5. I may open a file and start research on a subject I am conducting surveillance on.
  6. Poor Johnny is a Truck driver and he is stealing fuel from his employer. What a Toad…Coffee time.
  7. I do the usual stuff to get information on where he lives and any searchable assets such as cars, i.e. Facebook page etc.
  8. Write up Surveillance plan, print off job sheet, plot a time to do the job in the dairy.
  9. Head down to the Court JP, get Affidavits signed. Pay bills, collect mail…bloody hell more work.
  10. Back to the office, more coffee that’s Number 4 its 12;30. Lunch?
  11.  Nope talking to client on phone about case to do with child safety and a family court matter.
  12. 1:30pm Blood 1330hrs …whats this pm am stuff.
  13. Start printing out documents to be served and or sending them out to Agents.
  14. Setting up the run for the night. More coffee.
  15. Gee this Private investigator thing makes you want to go……
  16. 2;30pm to 3pm heading off to the Gold coast, setting up for surveillance to catch a dodgy tradie dodging Credit card bills, serve a document.

More coffee afternoon evening shift.

  1. 6pm end surveillance document served, begin run back to office serving documents as I go.
  2. Back home by 9pm…tea made by loving wife, bed…start again the same gig in the morning.

Rate out of 10 on the magnum PI Score

So, does being a private investigator sound like TV…doesn’t smell like it after 6 hours in a surveillance vehicle, no air con 38 degrees’ heat.

in a word I love it. Well that was three words but you get it..Still Here copper…You missed another speeder…geezz.

In any event, Not because I like the smell of my Body functions in a closed environment (Road side QPS guy in Camera car…you know it..don’t you) but because it’s challenging work.

The Challenge

Given these points:

  1. That subject that does not want to be found. 2.
  2. Smidgy that is stealing from the boss.
  3. Deadbeat that’s ripping off the tax payer, company, person they owe money or property too.
  4. They should know there are operators like me out here that are NOT the police (the Police hate us, I’ve served a number of them for one matter or another the look on the face some times are priceless) that will  get them to court so Justice can be served.
