Despite the laws designed to protect us from these types of invasions of privacy, electronic bugs and wiretaps are regularly used to spy on people involved in litigation, divorce, sensitive business, and well-to-do individuals. Imagine if all of your conversations with friends, family, business associates, your lawyer, your doctor, or accountant were being monitored by someone.
In the age of technology that we live in, it has become increasingly easy and economical for even the most conservative budgets to be able to afford to purchase and install electronic surveillance devices. These devices can be video or audio in nature, and can be, and usually are, extremely covert in nature. Due to their relative size and intent of being undetected, they are extremely hard for the lay person to recognize, locate and remove.
Even if you are not involved in business, litigation, or divorce, ordinary people have been victimized by criminals and others who “bugged” their home, automobile and workplace, and gained access to telephone data lines using electronic bugs.
Most law enforcement agencies are not properly equipped and trained to conduct an effective electronic bug detection sweep. Your phone service provider is also not able to help you. This set of circumstances leaves you on your own. That’s where we come in. To ensure you haven't fallen prey to technical surveillance, Brian Blackwell Investigations conducts professional electronic countermeasures to detect covert surveillance eavesdropping devices ("bugs") and hidden cameras that may have been placed in your home, your automobile, or your office. The removal of which is known as Technical Surveillance Countermeasures (TSCM).
Technical Surveillance Countermeasures are steps taken to detect and prevent unwanted surveillance. Technical surveillance often takes the form of eavesdropping by bugging a vehicle, home, tapping a phone line, or installing hidden cameras, with the intention of committing corporate espionage, privacy invasion, extortion, identity theft, information theft, or stalking. Being the victim of technical surveillance can endanger your personal safety and leave you vulnerable to potential financial damages.
