When it comes to spying on someone, many people make a costly mistake of just hopping in the car and following. This is not advised. It is not only impulsive. This could be dangerous. Spying is supposed to be secret. Without planning and preparation, you will get caught. So how you do successfully spy on someone?
Rule No 1: Never Drive Your Own Car!
Getting The Answers You Need
Do you want to spy on someone? While spying can be considered an invasion of privacy, there are some instances in which it is called for. Do you suspect your spouse is cheating on you? Do you suspect your teenage son or daughter is participating in illegal activities? If so, spying may be the only way to get the answers you need.
Spying Gadgets
The misconception that you have to physically spy on someone, easily lands many people in trouble. Camping out in front of your home because you want to catch a cheating spouse in the act is not necessary. When possible, opt for video or audio surveillance. Set up a hidden camera in the bedroom and catch your cheating spouse in the act without even being there!
In most instances of spying, detection is inevitable. For example, does your wife meet another man in the park? Due to the open layout of most parks, you may easily be spotted. In these situations, recruit a friend. Ask a trusted friend or family member to be your eyes and ears. It is best to opt for someone that the person you are spying on does not know. Even if caught they can develop a better excuse for being there than you.
Planning and Timing
You need to start monitoring schedules early on. For example, do you suspect your teenage daughter is attending illegal drinking parties? If so, watch her schedule for patterns. For example, your child may really attend a drinking party on Friday night, but if you follow her on Saturday night, you may see her just going to the movies. To successfully spy on someone, know when and where to do it.
An easy way to avoid being detected, when spying on someone, is to disguise yourself. Do no not wear your regular clothes. If you cannot buy wig, opt for a hat and a pair of sunglasses. Be cautious when choosing your disguise. Anything too out of the ordinary is likely to draw unwanted attention.
Success Tips
If you are spying on a suspected cheating spouse and have kids at home, use caution. If your spouse could return before you, don’t give your children the opportunity to accidentally blow your cover. Say you are going to visit a friend, leave your kids there, and then spy. When spying, never take your children with you or leave them home alone.
The most important rule of spying is to always get proof. Whether you are spying on a spouse, daughter, another family member, or a stranger, denial is likely. You may hear “it wasn’t me you saw.” So, have proof either in the form of pictures or video.
