MPs propose to legalize the country's private investigation
By and large, the activity of detective agencies of Ukraine at the moment can not be called legal. They just do the job, which is not prohibited. But this does not mean that permitted. Accordingly, it can be concluded that they seem to have, but at the same time, detectives in Ukraine and no, because many of these organizations are operating as media. However, there is a proposal to solve this problem on a legal level, by making certain changes to the laws of the country.
What restrictions will have detectives?
Do not just make conclusions and say that the work of detectives is really underground and totally legitimate. The more so because their work is incredibly useful for many individuals and entities in view of the range of services that they provide. Just as long as at the moment there are no specifically prescribed norms can regulate their activities and to remove a number of issues, dangling in the air. But this does not mean that such activity is banned. Just as long as there is a question in respect of such services, such as video or wiretapping rooms, says lawyer Igor Malovsky.
However, from April 12 this issue is resolved in parliament, because it is in this day and has been submitted the new draft law, which would have to resolve all contentious issues in the work of detectives and a fully legalize their activities. However, permission to hold video and audio recordings, most likely there will be some restrictions on gathering information and privacy of people. However, detectives do not greatly pleased that this law will be published. This is due to the fact that under such conditions, their work will be controlled by employees of the Interior Ministry, who can at any time at the output for any framework to prosecute negligent detectives. But to some extent, and there are pros. The market will be only those who are really conscientious in their work. Plus it lies in the fact that the agency will open up new jobs.
If we analyze the work of detective agencies in other countries where such a law already exists, as did Vladimir Moyski, author of the bill, it becomes clear that such changes only by some pluses. Thus, the interaction between agencies and law enforcement becomes more dense. Detectives will be able to take part of the responsibility, which only hinders the effectiveness of representatives of state structures.
Who uses the services of detectives?
Among the clients of the detective agency in Ukraine there are a variety of people. And despite the fact that these organizations themselves that there are no official figures on the order of two thousand, a lack of clientele they do not feel. And the problems of all variety. But if you look at some showgirl, who is also an example, the most complaints come from individuals who want to find other people. And seek not only distant relatives or missing people, but old friends, debtors, his first love. Someone really wants to meet a celebrity. In short, everyone has their own problems, for the solution of which just will not take the law enforcement agencies. And the next most important issue of concern to customers detective agencies related to the identification of adultery. And that detectives could quickly identify how your significant other is really in front of you is guilty, they may need to address this issue from a few hours to several days or even weeks. Everything always depends on the situation. So do not wait for the detectives from some magical action.
Naturally, all concerned about the cost of the services of private detectives, which has its own logic. If we talk about how to find a person, the minimum price will be 250 - $ 500, and the detection of adultery will be required to pay at least $ 350 a day. Naturally, each situation is considered on an individual basis only.
Most of the activity has recently begun to show and entrepreneurs who understand that it is through private investigation, they can best protect your business from a wide variety of scams, spyware, from financial crime. There are orders to ensure that personnel conduct a polygraph test, as well as to verify the premises in order to identify bugs. In this case, the price of services will depend on the area of the inspected object - per square meter, you will have to pay 10 dollars.
Red-handed in the act
Nothing is more guaranteed to prove the guilt of the perpetrator is just take him in the act, which was supposed to do in one of the orders when the detective agency "Conrad" asked the man to conduct an investigation into his company and find out who harms all matters of the company . But it was necessary to introduce into the ranks of employees detective with which he readily agreed. Everything was just perfect planned, agreed upon in advance. I think it was the most ideal scenario in which in principle could work if the chief executive of his company nor announced to the staff that they will now be working with a detective agency is to find out which employees violate corporate ethics and commits other illegal actions.
And this is not only a curiosity, faced detectives. Thus, they were once called the man and said to start spying on one object. As it turned out in the process, it was this very subject. Just thought I'd check how experienced specialists work in "Conrad." (http://www.dobrobut.biz.ua/)
If you began to suspect a soul mate of treason, do not rush to hasty conclusions, it is best to contact the agency, as did one of the clients. And perhaps you will be lucky just like him. The fact is that the reason for the later returns home to his wife was not another man, and his own business, which she started in secret from the family. Yes, there are such unexpected turns.
What happens with foreign colleagues?
Many issues relating to the legalization of private detectives in Ukraine disappear by themselves, you only look at how their counterparts in those countries in which this law has been working for a long time. We will not speak about any concrete figures, but just take a trivial example of Russia, Britain, America, where as a result of the legalization of the activities of detectives, their number has increased significantly, and in England, for example, more than 2 times the police
