Yes, within the law. Mobile surveillance can follow a routine into Springfield and back, from public places. Plans account for travel time, and work in another state is handled by a detective licensed there.

Often. Locate work combines records research with field verification, wherever the trail leads. Moves along Interstate 91 and connecting highways are common, and investigations are coordinated across state lines with appropriately licensed detectives.
