What Crimes Do Private Investigators Investigate?

It’s the ability to obtain what’s considered admissible evidence that can be presented in court for a criminal case that sets one investigator apart from the next, irrespective of the crime, but, what crimes do private investigators investigate?

In general, murder, rape, blackmail, fraud, home invasions, drug trafficking, human trafficking and other violent crimes are all crimes that can be investigated by the team of highly trained, experienced private investigators at King Investigators in Gauteng, South Africa.

No case is off-limits for this team of highly respected professionals, and, if you’re a victim of any of these crimes, friend or family member of someone who has been a victim, King Investigators is the team you want on your side, to bring fresh insight and evidence to light in the investigation of a crime.

Although owner of King Investigators, Jacques Botha, can’t carry out an arrest when it comes to catching a criminal, he and his team can, through their professional relationship with SAPS, assist the police in carrying out the arrest and then taking the case to court with evidence that’s irrefutable.

What crimes do private investigators investigate?

In all the crimes mentioned above, it’s about presenting a criminal or civil court with enough quality evidence to reach a verdict or finding that is beyond a reasonable doubt!

You won’t see the name of Jacques, any of his team of investigators or King Investigators in the news or spotlight, too many of the cases this team investigates are sensitive and often high profile, and, as the ones behind the evidence, these PI’s can’t afford to bask in the limelight if they are to remain effective in their field.

In fact, Jacques has crossed many borders in Southern Africa and over into Brazil and Argentina, to carry out high risk investigations that have called on all his skill as an investigator and analyst to bring cases to a successful conclusion, so he is no stranger to the dangers that come with criminal investigations!

Of the Southern African countries to which King Investigators travel to, these include Lesotho, Swaziland, Mozambique and Namibia. This means that as much as no case is off-limits for King Investigators, neither is any border crossing off-limits!

Serious & violent crime statistics on the rise in South Africa

Like any other country in the world, South Africa has an embattled and understaffed police force desperately trying to keep up with increasing serious and violent crime statistics, under constantly challenging circumstances.

As such, SAPS can only go so far and no further in certain criminal cases in terms of gathering further irrefutable evidence, further interviewing of witnesses and more, which is where King Investigators is able to render assistance that will help them to charge a criminal and bring the case to court.

King Investigators also assist families and other individuals in digging deeper into a police investigation to bring a case to conclusion, ensuring that perpetrators of crime don’t get away with it.

Or, you may be planning to invest in a company but need to know more than what’s presented to you on paper by the company.

Perhaps you’re struggling with employee theft and need to get the quality of proof required to take legal steps to put an end to it.

Can a Private Investigator Take Pictures of You in Your Home?

When you take into account the plethora of myths surrounding what private investigators can and cannot do, it’s easy to get confused about where and when a PI can take pictures of you, which leads us to the question; can a private investigator take pictures of you in your home?

This is a very touchy subject, especially if you’re looking for evidence of wrongdoing that can be taken to court and not be thrown out due to any unlawful actions on the part of a private investigator.

Private investigators are not above the law, contrary to much of what we see in detective movies, and, in South Africa, any private investigator worth his salt has to be registered with the PSiRA, which is the body that regulates the security industry, ensuring that a PI sticks to the letter of the law when it comes to gathering evidence of value.

You should ask any Private investigator you plan to hire for his registration number and verify it on the PSiRA website. This is the best way to ensure that you’re dealing with a private investigator who is legitimate and also a good way of knowing you’ll have recourse if, for any reason you feel you’ve been taken for a ride by a PI.

Can a private investigator take pictures of you in your home?

The short answer to whether or not a private investigator can take pictures in your home is; no! You have a right to a reasonable expectation of privacy in your home, and, a private investigator can’t even take photos of you in your backyard, despite the fact that you are in plain sight.

As private investigators registered with the PSiRA, owner of King Investigators Jacques Botha knows full well that the only places he and his team of professionals can take pictures is only in public places.

While they can’t take pictures of you in your home, the moment you leave your property and move into public places, they are well within the law to then begin taking as many pictures as they need, to bring to light evidence of wrongdoing that’ll stand up in any court.

If you hire a private investigator willing to take pictures of someone in their home, you’re looking at ending up with egg on your face when you take that evidence to court! 

In the first place, the evidence will be declared false, and in the second place, you could face prosecution yourself for bringing illegally acquired evidence before a judge!

King Investigators don’t cross the line into invasion of privacy!

You’ll have the confidence of knowing that this team of private investigators understands the legalities involved in gathering evidence and they stick to it, for your own protection!

Whether you are the one doing the hiring or the one under investigation, it’s essential that you know where you stand in terms of your right to privacy.
