Will the detectives legal?

At the moment, Ukrainian investigators working in semi-legal regime. On the one hand they do not violate the law because they regard it simply does not have, on the other hand, they do the work, which is not permitted. Naturally, this causes some controversy and speculation. As far as their activities can be considered legitimate? After all, if they are registered as mass media, and the need to deal exclusively with a narrow profile. But that offer some MPs to consider some projects and should clarify this matter.

What framework detectives expect?

Of course, to say absolutely yes that private detectives Ukraine really are exclusively underground operation, it is not necessary. In the confusion enters only the lack of standards in the Ukrainian legislation, which would regulate the work of private investigation. But also the absence of such rules does not mean that the activities of these organizations banned and has no place to be. Definitely, that is the law, from whatever side it may look at are some of the servants, rendered by detectives. This is the case of wiretapping facilities and conducting surveillance. It gives an explanation Igor Malovsky.

But the twelfth April this issue will be addressed at a different level. This day was made a new project, which is to regulate the work of private investigation in Ukraine, making it completely legal. And it should be said, and that this bill will open the door much wider to private investigation, providing them with more opportunities. For example, already be legitimately conduct audio and video. But to collect information about the private lives of people still will not be including will not be able to touch and those issues which relate to political and religious beliefs.

It would be extremely foolish to believe that investigators themselves will be delighted with all these innovations, since they will now be in some degree of accountability to be in front of their colleagues from the Interior Ministry. And in case of any wrong action, which would be contrary to the law, detectives expect severe punishment. However, if you carefully study the experience of colleagues from other countries, it becomes clear that in this case there is still more pluses, minuses week. Agencies will be able to employ more openly, while paying all taxes. Also close interaction with law enforcement authorities will more quickly address issues as one and the other side. According to Vladimir Moysika, who proposed the bill, in countries where the law and the detectives, and authorities in cooperation with the most responsible attitude to their work.

Service for Revnivtsev

Talking about the exact number of detective agencies in our country do not have to, because no one had not engaged in their official registration. But when you consider the official figures are not available, then these organizations, there are about two thousand. Moreover, according to detectives themselves, they do not experience any shortage of customers. According to the coordinator of the detective agency "Conrad" Yuri Conrad, it is extremely difficult to talk about exactly who often uses the services of a detective agency. Still, individuals must have a greater degree of use of such services, one of the most popular of which is the search for the people. A look can be anyone. Seek, and to find an old friend with whom sat at the same desk to find out where the former employee now works or what happened to the old boss. May seek the debtor or first love, and their idols from the stage or from the cinema. It is clear that conduct such searches, law enforcement authorities will not. So Detective Agency is the only hope.

Then the most important has been going infidelity. And sometimes to find out information about the presence of the lover of his wife or mistress of her husband manages quite rapidly in just a few professional techniques. But sometimes it can take a lot of time and require a range of activities. And preparation often takes more time than the process itself. And you must be prepared for the fact that the cost is not cheap services of a private detective. Thus, for a person to do the search costs of two hundred - five hundred dollars. But to bring out into a soul mate, you need to spend about three hundred and fifty dollars a day.

Most activity to date show the owners of the business. Yuri told us a rather curious case. Given that sometimes superiors to conduct certain investigations are willing to introduce new staff, have been prepared simply elegant legend for a new customer, the company of which had to work undercover detective "sales manager". The aim was to uncover serious financial fraud. But literally collapsed on the first day. The customer simply gathered all his team and told him that he hired a detective, who will conduct the exposure and all perpetrators will be punished soon. It is hard to imagine that at this moment he felt the detective, who all started so well.

To identify spies, traitors and other unreliable persons using a variety of tools, one of which is a polygraph. That it is used most often to to expose scams, find out who is stealing the company produces, is engaged in theft on a large scale. However, such a pleasure will cost the customer at least one and a half thousand hryvnia. Often business owners are asked to check their premises to identify the bug. In this situation, the price per square meter will be around ten dollars.

How to take the act

The surest way to catch something culprit is to take him in the act. And as already mentioned above, the detectives rarely face the most unpredictable situations. Thus, once the agency has addressed the man who began to suspect his wife of infidelity. This is not surprising, because it began to come home late, and she had her jewelry, which they could not afford, even when the total income. During the investigation it was found that his wife just came customer business, which she, for some reason just did not inform her husband. Also bought provocation to commit adultery. And it was a situation where the customer has ordered surveillance of himself. He just wanted to make sure that working with professionals.

What happens in other countries?

If you look at the experience of other countries, many of which have long been the law that allowed the legalization of the work of private investigation. In Russia, the law has been operating since 1992, resulting in only until 1994 there will be about seven thousand agencies. In England, the number of investigators in at least two more than the number of police officers in the US budget in half of these companies more than the state structures.
