Quiet streets and visible routines
Cheyenne is largely residential, at about 1,638 residents per square mile. Cul-de-sacs, school traffic and neighbors who know each other's cars all affect how lawful observation is planned. Shorter, well-timed sessions based on known schedules usually work better than long open-ended watches.
Interstate access and travel
Interstate 80, Interstate 25 and U.S. Route 87 run through or near Cheyenne. Subjects in a mobile surveillance often leave town on these routes, so plans account for highway speeds, exits and where the work could cross into another jurisdiction. The same routes matter for locates: people who move frequently tend to follow them.
