@@Snkrs-Jordan Friend gave him a schedule. 'Gets off the train at 5:30pm, walks the dog saturday morning, etc'.

I thought you were going to prank the private investigator by hiring him to follow you and then doing weird stuff to confuse them the whole day. That would have been fun too. 😅

" I love how Max's final reaction progressed from novelty, to disbelief, to shock, to genuine fear, to depressed resignation so strong he didn't put an outro on the video." This sounds suspiciously like a human experience with human feelings.
I guess because there was some stuff that he was expecting the P.I. to find, but there was also a lot of things that he didn't expect that the P.I. would discover, which can be genuinely shocking
@@sAkUrA6309 I actually thought this was going to be an ad for one - there are a few out there and even Google has a version. They help generate a hard-to-guess password for each site and store it - either in a secure cloud or locally - so you don't have to remember it. If you don't have to remember it, you are less likely to reuse a password, plus, many check the address to help fill in the info instead of human error where something CLOSE to the URL could fool someone. I like using one to help keep track of accounts and have seen it help someone after someone died to be able to take over their accounts to close them, notify people, etc.
@@NihongoWakannai I mean I’ve never posted my password anywhere or told anyone so how would they find it? I remember at school they made us put our randomly generated school password and then a normal password into a website that tells you how strong it is and it actually said our regular passwords were really strong and the school ones were regular strength.

Tbh there is no point in thinking about clothing unless you take advantage of other anti-surveillance methods like unexpected changes of mode of transport etc. These trained PI's would be able to follow you no matter how "greymen"-like you would attempt to be.
He was just going about his daily life and seeing what they could find. It’s not like he was wearing something really weird, they’re pretty normal clothing choices.

I couldn’t stop laughing just because of the 2nd hand uncomfortable feeling I was getting. Because yes, this is hilarious, but also crazy unsettling for people to follow you for a month, know so much about you, and not even know they’re there.
@@Cometstarlight You are right. Funny thing is how we use the word "following" when a great detective often let you follow them or, in other words, they walk in front of you. :-) Most often does an investigator find out your pattern and then be there before you, every step of the way. You look behind you and right in front of you, but do you look up, do you look inside the bus going by?
Imagine being a private Investigator during Corona-Lockdown. "So, yeah, here is a photo of your house with you at the window. Here is one a week later. Oh and here - that was exciting - you bought Hawaiian Pizza at Tesco. That was suspicious."
It is! Being constantly observed online is one thing, we already know that, and we've all come to terms that somebody knows our girl-ish or boy-ish or porn-ish preferences and sides, and that's fine 'cause we'll never have to explain ourselves to them anyway, but being stalked (PI or not) in real life can be crazy scary to think about. Especially when deciding which sceleton to showcase first :)
When they started talking about password security I was so sure there was gonna be an insert ad for a password manager thing after. Surprised there werent.
Damn its crazy how he got like exact passwords and stuff, the rest was kinda neat. Tbh wasn't sure what else to expect cause the investigator probably wasn't hired too much due to costs but damn I can see the potential these types of people can do. What was scary was how he got a pic of Max while he was staring right at him and Max didnt notice a photo of him was being taken. Edit: damn this blew up, ngl wasn't expecting a comment I left at 3am to generate this much discussion. I've learn a lot from this thread.
Yeah cell phones must have made this type of job so much easier because you don't even need an excuse to be holding up a device with a high quality camera.
You should follow this up by getting him to train you on counter surveillance teqniques which you adopt for a month Hire another detective, don't tell them that's what you're doing, see if they can track you and keep up and track you.
Or hire investigators to follow each other and only a few follow him, so then they slowly recognize each other and how certain ones are following him.. and thus start thinking something sinister is happening
If a private investigator ever tries to follow me, he'll want to gouge his eyes out. I just sit at home doing college and watching youtube. Maybe once or twice a week he'd get the thrill of me driving to the corner store ab 5 mins away
@@BAghz00 why is it unhealthy? I have everything I need at home: a gym, pool, food, water, books, musical instruments, the internet, my pets, and human company.
It's refreshing to see that youtubers are actually normal people and do normal things and act normally. Sometimes it's easy to forget that everyone is human.
I'm realising how I'm inadvertently a "Very Hard" difficulty for PIs because I leave home like two hours a week and I watch everyone around me in case they're a threat.
More polite, and better video titles and thumbnails. Mr. Beast's video titles _always_ trigger the "that's stupid" part of my brain, but Max Fish doesn't, for some reason.
NGL, that final bit where he recommends a password manager would have been a perfect segue to an ad for one of them and I admit I was expecting it and was somewhat "sad" (maybe disapointed) when it didn't come
I believe that human beings respect skill. Any skill. Competency, experience, results…regardless of morality…you can’t help but respect someone who dedicated themselves to something so whole-heartedly that they’re the best at what they do. This investigator, their team, their skills…whoever they are? I respect them. Honestly. What they were able to do seems like wizardry. Arcane. But this is the nature of truly competent skills: it really does seem like dark magic. And so saying, I fear it.
Interesting to see what the official watchers could put together from CCTV and other sources if they were tasked to monitor Max as a hypothetical threat to the State over that same period.
@@mrm9561 I'm Dutch and we've got quite a shitty cabinet right now, politics-wise. Many people are unknowlingly being tracked down and monitored, for being from a foreign country or for being on benefits. Some people on benefits (that fall in love with each other) also get private investigators at their houses, to check if they aren't spending too much time together. They aren't allowed to sleep in the same house more than twice a week (or something like that) because otherwise, technically, it could be considered living together and then they are recieving home-rent-benefits for the other one and could TECHNICALLY rent that to someone else. Living together however, cuts down on both benefits, so that's no option. It's either staying single or having 2 days of bliss together and then back to your own house. I know someone that's done that for a few years and it was messed up seeing her not-being-able to visit her boyfriend, knowing very well she really needed to. She lost her mom, she lost her former boyfriend, she is mentally ill, she deserves someone to hold onto at night and help with the bad dreams and the anxiety-attacks. Not just twice a night and also not at the cost of her entire benefits.
@@mrm9561 Positive thing though, she recently decided that she was going to go for it and gave up her benefits for him. They now have to (as we say) bite on a little stick together and have barely anything, but they áre together and there's a foodbank nearby that is allowed to give them some extra's (we aren't, by law. It could cost them the benefits and give them a huge fine. Shitty, shitty cabinet.)
Or phone providers for that matter - the ones that have access to your phone’s microphone/voice command, and then suddenly you’re seeing ads for things you were just talking about 😳
@@bluedaybae8393 I have the same thing, but my microphone is supposed to be off. However, I'm reading the same online and I'm also experiencing it myself. I've started to keep track of it, writing it down and the thing is, I álso get advertisements for things that are in the frame of the camerashutter. Like some brand of biscuits that are on the table or tissues when I've just finished crying about something. I have now put a blocking device on them (both my webcams) and I put my phone in my bag whenever I can. I've been called paranoid by a few, but they're slowly noticing it too. Advertisements for chocolate after they finish a conflict-conversation with a friend or advertisements for mascara after they concluded theirs is finished.
I tried doing this once too but the private investigator thought it wasn't worth doing and was too silly and refused me. :( Probably because I asked on behalf of myself lol... glad to see you succeeded! This was great!
More money to be made working for people who really want to dig up dirt on someone. Someone hiring for themselves cause it would be fun would be easy money but not solid money as its 100% only gonna last as long as the person wants, if you want actual dirt...it may take more then a month to get the dirt you want which means more money.
What is especially difficult is when you do not have assistance on a surveillance or when your mark begins to suspect you due to proximity issues or location issues. Always beautiful though when a neighbor notices what’s up and decides to play devils advocate for you and make the mark truly begin to question everything.
This is bloody WILD to see, I do often wonder how much would you recognise seeing a random person twice. Surely we pass the same people every day, without knowing. Growing up we once met the same family, totally randomly on the same flight to and from Heathrow to Cyprus, two years in a row. And we both lived right by each other in both places, lifes full of crazy things you'd probably never know. This is funny but blimey it's a bit scary for £60 an hour!
I wonder if the private investigator also has moral doubts about certain things sometimes. Imagine someone came up to him and it was not a joke, or a spouse that knew her husband was cheating and needed the closure, but it was a man wanting to stalk a woman, specifically knowing where she walks around at night or maybe..asks to get a hold of her trashbag. Would the PI do this..or would he have mixed feelings and not do it?
@@rkan2 Well, yeah, but..I don't know, in a way spying on your spouse is also breaking the law, so where's the limit, is what I'm wondering about. There are a lot of grey area's in this, especially if you only rely on half of the story on who-broke-up with who and why, and whether or not this is a stalking situation or a revenge thing or..youknow.

@@Ministry_0f_Truth Getting the agency name is easy (Argo Investigations, takes 10 seconds with the good research terms), but finding the guy's name is another thing. You can get a few names from their main offices in Italy, mostly consultants and press managers, but I didn't find anything for the London branch or the investigators directly I'm not really dedicated though ;)
They're not one of the more common and well known companies on the circuit here in the UK. With their main head office in Milan I'd assume they sourced the work out through sub-contractors who work the UK circuit - working for different companies as and when the work comes in. Most PI companies don't have guys working on PAYE basis.
This was the greatest Max Fosh video to date. Max appeared more uncomfortable in the final meeting than with the nudists. That's saying something. Well done investigator. Well done.
I don't know why I was expecting a deeper investigation than this, but all of this is pretty easy when you really think about it for more than a minute or so.
the very last minute he looked like he was very concerned, I can't imagine what it was like to see yourself and your habits from an angle that you didn't even know...

You looked so defeated and when he dropped the fact that he had some of your passwords, it felt like I just witnessed him murdering the last shred of your privacy.
It felt like it because you actually witnessed his privacy being shredded :D
Anyone know how they actually got his passwords? I thought people like these only followed him around. And how did the stalker know where he was? It’s seriously crazy
@@Snkrs-Jordan probably found the passwords in database leaks
@@papichanela He said he found the password online, so definitely
@@Snkrs-Jordan Friend gave him a schedule. 'Gets off the train at 5:30pm, walks the dog saturday morning, etc'.
Then I imagine they just stake out that location at that time and try to follow you through crowds shop etc. I'm assuming the more you can give them the more they can find out to make the most worth of your money; just saying 'they'll be in France next month' without an airport or flight schedule would be you give you guy a few grand to be a tourist.
This isn't good for my paranoid schizophrenia but it is interesting

It has to be said: The description for this video is the best social plug I've ever read. Cheers!
Imagine hiring 2 investigators and secretly tell them to follow each other, that would be hilarious
Im pretty sure theyll catch on at the very first day
Wouldn't work unfortunately. The investigator space is really tight, they all know each other and sometimes tip each other off.

There was not any banging goals.. That match was so boring.. And the fake investigator lied so much imao.. That's was so annoying dude.. A fake scripted video 100% !

@@godsethgaju7315 over the course of a month, not a constant surveilance for a month.
The PI wasn't there 24/7.
Plus, they literally say in the video that it would be periodically over the next month.
Amazing! Only watched two videos of yours and I’ve subscribed already - and I’m not easily pleased. Keep up the good work Max.
Music in this video:
Edvard Grieg - Peer Gynt Suite - In The Hall of the Mountain King
Georges Bizet - Carmen - L'Amour est un oiseau rebelle (alias Habanera)
Rimsky-Korsakov - The Flight of the Bumblebees
(I don't recognize the music during the conversation with the PI, sorry)
May we talk about the fact that he is in a choir or something and spends his free time with singing Christmas Carols?
Yes I would like to talk about that
He is max posh I mean fosh
It's so great
no

is that sarcasm because....
Thats just not original lol
Literally
I mean his International Security yoke was not his idea either
Oh yes extreeeemely original. If you’ve been living under a rock the past century.
I thought you were going to prank the private investigator by hiring him to follow you and then doing weird stuff to confuse them the whole day. That would have been fun too. 😅
The best thing about this is finding out what Max does in his spare time.
You sheep, don't get fooled.
He did all of this with one purpose in mind - to hide his true daily routines.
@@forsakengentleman8052 exactly like his Satan worshipping and goat sacrifices also I bet that choirs real purpose is to sing demonic hymns.

Hahaha the choir killed meee
This guy is just a member of some Choir. Like this video is how that information comes out...
It would drive me mad knowing someone was following me but not knowing where. Sounds like a good way to induce paranoia
I'm somewhat surprised that Max didn't create an elaborate schedule of odd locations, behavior, and set dressing to make it seem like to the investigators he was really a super villain or an alien from outerspace.
What a great idea!

" I love how Max's final reaction progressed from novelty, to disbelief, to shock, to genuine fear, to depressed resignation so strong he didn't put an outro on the video." This sounds suspiciously like a human experience with human feelings.
he never does outros. it’s a cool feature of the channel
LMAO this was my thoughts exactly. That ending certainly left an impact.
max just went on the stages of grief in one video
I guess because there was some stuff that he was expecting the P.I. to find, but there was also a lot of things that he didn't expect that the P.I. would discover, which can be genuinely shocking
I wonder how little would they find out about me. I spend the majority of time at home and my movements anywhere other than to university are random.
No PI is gonna investigate u bro

@@Xnoob545 Yeah they will, they're getting paid, but i don't see anybody paying a PI to investigate this useless piece of shit
Hire a private investigator to follow you and hire another investigator and tell him to find out who is following you.
The fact that he was able to find his Instagram password is terrifying, to think that if someone else had hired this PI with malicious intent.
If you are not using a password manager for those types of things then you really should be
@@NihongoWakannai idk much bout IT but what is password manager exactly?
@@sAkUrA6309 I actually thought this was going to be an ad for one - there are a few out there and even Google has a version. They help generate a hard-to-guess password for each site and store it - either in a secure cloud or locally - so you don't have to remember it. If you don't have to remember it, you are less likely to reuse a password, plus, many check the address to help fill in the info instead of human error where something CLOSE to the URL could fool someone. I like using one to help keep track of accounts and have seen it help someone after someone died to be able to take over their accounts to close them, notify people, etc.
@@NihongoWakannai I mean I’ve never posted my password anywhere or told anyone so how would they find it? I remember at school they made us put our randomly generated school password and then a normal password into a website that tells you how strong it is and it actually said our regular passwords were really strong and the school ones were regular strength.

Max really made the PI's job considerably easier by wearing such distinctive clothing all the time. The blue hat, the Christmas jumper 😂
Tbh there is no point in thinking about clothing unless you take advantage of other anti-surveillance methods like unexpected changes of mode of transport etc. These trained PI's would be able to follow you no matter how "greymen"-like you would attempt to be.
He was just going about his daily life and seeing what they could find. It’s not like he was wearing something really weird, they’re pretty normal clothing choices.
But how do you explain obtaining the passwords
@@demonjmh you can pretty easily just look over someone's shoulders while they're typing in passwords
@@omnipresentsnowflake4698 nobody types their password everytime they wanna scroll through instagram

You should actually pay 2 PIs to follow each other around and see what happens
great idea actually
I imagine they would pretty quickly realise each other is a PI and then kind of work it out but could be good if done well.
@@shearerforgold They wouldn't "work it out" because they are suppose to be investigating the other person.
@@CielMC what do you mean? They would realise the other guy is a private detective quickly by doing the research he did, its not too far fetched to work out the rest from there especially seeing them probably snoop your car or something
@@shearerforgold also I bet they would know each other in such a private community of PIs.
I couldn’t stop laughing just because of the 2nd hand uncomfortable feeling I was getting. Because yes, this is hilarious, but also crazy unsettling for people to follow you for a month, know so much about you, and not even know they’re there.
I think that's called social media lmao
He hired the guy himself 🤦♂️ it’s not that deep
@@Xeller_real That doesn’t even make sense
@@AH-td9ty I’m well aware he hired him. I’m just saying the possibility of people following you and not knowing it is vastly uncomfortable lol
@@Cometstarlight You are right. Funny thing is how we use the word "following" when a great detective often let you follow them or, in other words, they walk in front of you. :-)
Most often does an investigator find out your pattern and then be there before you, every step of the way. You look behind you and right in front of you, but do you look up, do you look inside the bus going by?
I was waiting for the smoothest dashlane transition of my life there at the end 😂
I am now bingeing every single Max Fosh video.
Imagine being a private Investigator during Corona-Lockdown.
"So, yeah, here is a photo of your house with you at the window. Here is one a week later. Oh and here - that was exciting - you bought Hawaiian Pizza at Tesco. That was suspicious."
Lmao. I only stayed in for 3 weeks then said fuck it
Eh I went about my daily life as normal. If anything, the suggestion to stay in made me want to go out more. Lack of traffic was great!
Buying Hawaiian Pizza is a real crime...
why do people hate hawaiian pizza ;-;
Because it insults all other pizzas with it's existence.
This is actually terrifying that it’s this easy to stalk someone and the person have no idea
Yeah, which means someone could be stalking you right now....👀
It is! Being constantly observed online is one thing, we already know that, and we've all come to terms that somebody knows our girl-ish or boy-ish or porn-ish preferences and sides, and that's fine 'cause we'll never have to explain ourselves to them anyway, but being stalked (PI or not) in real life can be crazy scary to think about. Especially when deciding which sceleton to showcase first :)
I was so distracted by the opera piece Carmen in the background lmfaoo😂
When they started talking about password security I was so sure there was gonna be an insert ad for a password manager thing after. Surprised there werent.
Damn its crazy how he got like exact passwords and stuff, the rest was kinda neat. Tbh wasn't sure what else to expect cause the investigator probably wasn't hired too much due to costs but damn I can see the potential these types of people can do. What was scary was how he got a pic of Max while he was staring right at him and Max didnt notice a photo of him was being taken.

You should follow this up by getting him to train you on counter surveillance teqniques which you adopt for a month
Hire another detective, don't tell them that's what you're doing, see if they can track you and keep up and track you.
Now, this is genius!
Ok this sounds pretty damn epic. Perhaps a 3 part series in total, part 2 being the training and part 3 being the finale.
And have some kind of plan/plot/story in place that the PI has to figure out, or at least find out who's involved. So we can garner success.
I LOVE THIS IDEA OMG
Adding reply for visibility; this is gold. I'd subscribe if he did this.
The investigator is so good that I think I would live in fear for the rest of the life if i found myself getting followed by an investigator
I‘m 2 years late to the party, but what a genius idea! I‘m definitely checking out the other content on this channel now.
Now hire 100 private investigators and watch them get confused as they notice the same people watching you constantly
6k an hour?
hahaha😂😊
Or hire investigators to follow each other and only a few follow him, so then they slowly recognize each other and how certain ones are following him.. and thus start thinking something sinister is happening
@@BaconNuke GENIUS
It's a bit comforting to know someone's watching over u for that month. If anyone ever tried to kidnap you, that PI would be the first to know!
You're probably the kind of person that would trade freedom for security pathetic
Having two private investigators investigate one another would be hilarious lol
This is a classic! Great job!
This is actually a great concept, seems like most TH-camrs hire a PI to find the while they're on the run or something, not to actually investigate
wow you're popular, you seeen these bots?!
anyway yeah somebody ought to hire a P I on sam pepper lmao
It was scary how easily it was to follow you for a month.
But when he just dropped your parents name and knew your passwords I was done.
POV: He still follows you even after a month.
😨
Love how he makes interesting videos and makes them 10 minutes instead of some like 2 hour video
I love how he is so shook at the end. “Please don’t do this again.” What it must feel like to have someone you’ve never met have all your information.
If a private investigator ever tries to follow me, he'll want to gouge his eyes out. I just sit at home doing college and watching youtube. Maybe once or twice a week he'd get the thrill of me driving to the corner store ab 5 mins away
We must be related. I don't leave my house for days or weeks at a time.

Hello from the U.S.
It's refreshing to see that youtubers are actually normal people and do normal things and act normally. Sometimes it's easy to forget that everyone is human.
I find it quite hard to believe some people do not actually think about what you've said. This is spot on
Really what did you think they were? Cats?
What did you think TH-camrs do outside of TH-cam? Lol
Yes, I always thought TH-camrs were like the Cat People. I now know that they are just human.
lol what?
The fact that I've not seen a news article of you being exposed this week has disappointed me
1st human comment
I'm realising how I'm inadvertently a "Very Hard" difficulty for PIs because I leave home like two hours a week and I watch everyone around me in case they're a threat.
add to that leaving taking different routes or never crossing the same avenue within a certain about of time.

*Turns on 2-factor*….
I am your dad
@@Axilus mama called. She said she wants her child support money so she can go partying saturday
Now hire two investigators, who need to identify each other, but also need to keep track of you
That would be interesting 🤔
I love how u use flight of the bumblebee in basically everything
love to rewatch this!
I had to describe Max Fosh to someone and I said "basically Mr Beast but very creative, British, and less money" and I think that's close
More polite, and better video titles and thumbnails. Mr. Beast's video titles _always_ trigger the "that's stupid" part of my brain, but Max Fish doesn't, for some reason.
NGL, that final bit where he recommends a password manager would have been a perfect segue to an ad for one of them and I admit I was expecting it and was somewhat "sad" (maybe disapointed) when it didn't come
Me, too!
I believe that human beings respect skill. Any skill.
Competency, experience, results…regardless of morality…you can’t help but respect someone who dedicated themselves to something so whole-heartedly that they’re the best at what they do.
This investigator, their team, their skills…whoever they are? I respect them. Honestly.
What they were able to do seems like wizardry. Arcane. But this is the nature of truly competent skills: it really does seem like dark magic.
And so saying, I fear it.
I remember watching this video like an hour after it came out, what a lad 🤣
Interesting to see what the official watchers could put together from CCTV and other sources if they were tasked to monitor Max as a hypothetical threat to the State over that same period.
Would be scary as fuck that's too invasive that.
@@mrm9561 I'm Dutch and we've got quite a shitty cabinet right now, politics-wise.
Many people are unknowlingly being tracked down and monitored, for being from a foreign country or for being on benefits.
Some people on benefits (that fall in love with each other) also get private investigators at their houses, to check if they aren't spending too much time together. They aren't allowed to sleep in the same house more than twice a week (or something like that) because otherwise, technically, it could be considered living together and then they are recieving home-rent-benefits for the other one and could TECHNICALLY rent that to someone else.
Living together however, cuts down on both benefits, so that's no option. It's either staying single or having 2 days of bliss together and then back to your own house.
I know someone that's done that for a few years and it was messed up seeing her not-being-able to visit her boyfriend, knowing very well she really needed to. She lost her mom, she lost her former boyfriend, she is mentally ill, she deserves someone to hold onto at night and help with the bad dreams and the anxiety-attacks. Not just twice a night and also not at the cost of her entire benefits.
@@mrm9561 Positive thing though, she recently decided that she was going to go for it and gave up her benefits for him. They now have to (as we say) bite on a little stick together and have barely anything, but they áre together and there's a foodbank nearby that is allowed to give them some extra's (we aren't, by law. It could cost them the benefits and give them a huge fine. Shitty, shitty cabinet.)
Or phone providers for that matter - the ones that have access to your phone’s microphone/voice command, and then suddenly you’re seeing ads for things you were just talking about 😳
@@bluedaybae8393 I have the same thing, but my microphone is supposed to be off.
However, I'm reading the same online and I'm also experiencing it myself.
I've started to keep track of it, writing it down and the thing is, I álso get advertisements for things that are in the frame of the camerashutter.
Like some brand of biscuits that are on the table or tissues when I've just finished crying about something. I have now put a blocking device on them (both my webcams) and I put my phone in my bag whenever I can.
I've been called paranoid by a few, but they're slowly noticing it too. Advertisements for chocolate after they finish a conflict-conversation with a friend or advertisements for mascara after they concluded theirs is finished.
I tried doing this once too but the private investigator thought it wasn't worth doing and was too silly and refused me. :( Probably because I asked on behalf of myself lol... glad to see you succeeded! This was great!
More money to be made working for people who really want to dig up dirt on someone. Someone hiring for themselves cause it would be fun would be easy money but not solid money as its 100% only gonna last as long as the person wants, if you want actual dirt...it may take more then a month to get the dirt you want which means more money.
@@gageunruh3574 And if you get some _really_ good dirt, you can charge extra for it.
What is especially difficult is when you do not have assistance on a surveillance or when your mark begins to suspect you due to proximity issues or location issues. Always beautiful though when a neighbor notices what’s up and decides to play devils advocate for you and make the mark truly begin to question everything.
This is a "I know exactly where u are.." to whole level
This is bloody WILD to see, I do often wonder how much would you recognise seeing a random person twice. Surely we pass the same people every day, without knowing.
Growing up we once met the same family, totally randomly on the same flight to and from Heathrow to Cyprus, two years in a row. And we both lived right by each other in both places, lifes full of crazy things you'd probably never know. This is funny but blimey it's a bit scary for £60 an hour!
I wonder if the private investigator also has moral doubts about certain things sometimes.
Imagine someone came up to him and it was not a joke, or a spouse that knew her husband was cheating and needed the closure, but it was a man wanting to stalk a woman, specifically knowing where she walks around at night or maybe..asks to get a hold of her trashbag.
Would the PI do this..or would he have mixed feelings and not do it?
@@Widdekuu91 I doubt they would want to be tried for accessory...
@@rkan2 Well, yeah, but..I don't know, in a way spying on your spouse is also breaking the law, so where's the limit, is what I'm wondering about.

They're not one of the more common and well known companies on the circuit here in the UK.
With their main head office in Milan I'd assume they sourced the work out through sub-contractors who work the UK circuit - working for different companies as and when the work comes in.

Well done investigator. Well done.
I don't know why I was expecting a deeper investigation than this, but all of this is pretty easy when you really think about it for more than a minute or so.
at the 6 min mark, I'm here hoping that the investigator got a "fan" selfie with Max..just for troll
the very last minute he looked like he was very concerned, I can't imagine what it was like to see yourself and your habits from an angle that you didn't even know...
