Or Why You Should Leave Private Investigations to the Professionals
In our increasingly inter-connected digital world, it can be tempting to believe that conducting your own private investigation (DIY private investigations) is both possible and practical. With access to social media, GPS apps, and online public records, many people feel empowered to take matters into their own hands.
However, while it might seem straightforward at first, the reality is far more complex — and potentially risky. At SIASS, we understand the emotional weight behind most private investigations. Whether you're dealing with infidelity, fraud, custody issues, tenant problems, antisocial behaviour issues or another personal matter, we urge you to consider the advantages — and the legal safety — of working with a professional team.

Why a Professional Makes All the Difference
At SIASS, our experienced investigators can design a tailored investigative plan that fits your unique circumstances. We offer a flexible approach:
We can manage the entire case on your behalf, ensuring every step is conducted lawfully and ethically.
Alternatively, we can handle only the more sensitive or legally complex elements, while you compile less critical evidence that doesn’t require third-party involvement.
Our aim is to work in partnership with you, giving you the support and guidance you need, without compromising your case or putting you at risk.
The Dangers of DIY Private Investigations
It’s important to understand that investigating someone you are emotionally close to can cloud your judgement and expose you to significant personal risk — legally, emotionally, and even physically.
Engaging in activities like:
Covert surveillance
Tracking someone without consent
Accessing private information unlawfully
…can lead to serious consequences, including criminal charges, civil claims, or the total collapse of your case in a court setting due to improper evidence gathering.
Simply put, what might feel like 'just getting answers' could, in fact, break the law.
We Know the Law — And How to Stay Within It
SIASS private investigators are trained in all legal and ethical aspects of private investigations. We understand where the line is drawn, and we take every precaution to ensure our work meets professional and legal standards.
