I need some serious help here. I'm dating a woman who's ex boyfriend
is a private investigator. She had broken up with him and he found
out that I was now dating her. He has shown up at my work and has
told her he will use all his resources to find out everything about
me. He only knows my name and age but he keeps telling her he will
follow me home and do everything he can to find me. Its to the point
where I take the long way home and make many turns to make sure i'm
not being followed. I really dont want this person to know where I
live and this feeling of being stalked is horrible. I'm considering
calling the police to file a report if he continues to approach me.
My question is what rights do these PI's have to search your
background without my permission? What exactly can they check? Do I
have any legal rights against this invasion of privacy? Any info
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
I do not give legal advice. This is a discussion group, not an
attorney's
office.
You're Richard Bullis, aren't you?
Yep he's "Richard" Bullis AKA "lost4evermore" @ truck.net

And you're not an attorney, and a fair amount of what you've said is
wrong.
It's bad enough when you try to give legal advice. When you attach a
preamble like this, it creates the impression that you are actually a
lawyer
(and, no, you do not need to be in an attorney's office for an
attorney/client relationship to be formed -- yet something else you don't
know).
I don't know why you have this fascination with the law, but you are
appallingly ignorant of it. Don't give legal advice. Someone may believe
you and get into an enormous amount of trouble because of you.

If he is a licensed PI in that state, file a formal complaint with the
licesning agency.
Go ahead and make contact with the police department about him.
As most PI's have a working relationship with the local police, they may
want to know these things.
It's a toss up if the police will take action.
As long as he doesn't come into physical contact with you, harass you in
any
way, he has the right to be there as much as you do.
Anybody can search your background as far as public records go.
Invasion of privacy? I doubt it as long as he and you are in the public
arena.

PT,
If you don't value Mr. Bullis's advice try using your e-mail filters.
The
caveat, "I do not give legal advice.", should put any one on notice that
the
advice in news groups may not be worth much. In this post Mr. Bullis gives
fairly good advice and it's on topic.
Bullis? Give good advice?


Are you on drugs? Because drugs are bad for you, dude.
