The person I'm concerned about works outside Lighthouse Point. Can surveillance follow them?
Yes, within the law. Mobile surveillance can follow a routine into Fort Lauderdale and back, from public places. Plans account for travel time, and work in another state is handled by a detective licensed there.
What should I know before hiring a private detective in Broward County?
Most records that matter in Broward County are kept at the county level: court files with the clerk, and deeds with the county recorder or register of deeds. A good detective searches those originals rather than relying on online summaries, and confirms identity so records aren't attributed to the wrong person.
Can an investigation in Lighthouse Point extend to Deerfield Beach or Pompano Beach?
Yes. People rarely stay inside municipal lines. Work that starts in Lighthouse Point can continue in nearby communities such as Deerfield Beach, Pompano Beach, Coconut Creek, planned as one engagement and carried out by detectives licensed for each place the work goes.
Can a private detective find someone who left Lighthouse Point on Interstate 95?
Often. Locate work combines records research with field verification, wherever the trail leads. Moves along Interstate 95 and connecting highways are common, and investigations are coordinated across state lines with appropriately licensed detectives.
Can I record a phone call in Florida?
Florida generally requires the consent of all parties to record a conversation. Recording a conversation you're not part of is generally illegal. This is general information, not legal advice.
