What would be a good gun to carry? Something that would provide effective protection, but not be some cannon that takes all sorts of extra knowledge to use.

Illegal running of license plates?

By pcgumban | December 26, 2009
Val T asked:


I wanted to find some person and hired a private detective whom i found in yellow pages to run his license plates. He gave me this info for some money, but in about 2 months I start receiving calls from some messenger who wants to catch me to give me a package from some legal company and this detective. What is this all about? I know that running license plates is illegal, but is it really that illegal that they are trying to catch me or something? Or maybe I am getting paranoid? How illegal is that, whats the probability of catching me for this and what is the punishment?

Question about becoming a private investigator?

By pcgumban | December 26, 2009
Meags asked:


I am looking into becoming a private investigator and I was wondering, if anyone happened to know, if the “Detective Training Institute” provided training that was equivillant to that which you would receive with a criminal justice degree. In other words, could I get a job with a detective agency only having a diploma from them, versus a degree in criminal justice. The program sounds fantastic and I believe offers more hands on type training then a college, but I’d **** to spend the money, and my time, on something that won’t get my foot in the door.

I took the Private Investigator course from one of those but I am not even doing that type of work.In Tennessee , where I live, you have to be licensed and it costs like 150 bucks to take the state exam.But I know in some states you don’t have to be licensed.Anyway I’m now going to school for welding.

If someone is looking for me, what could they find out? Could a private detective find out more info based on only my name and state?

I have read almost all of the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series and I love it. I am interested in his other series, but my local library doesn’t have them so I would have to purchase them. Who has read his other series and what was your opinion?
