| GENERAL INFORMATION |

Surveillance is nothing more then having a Private Investigator follow someone and document their activities.
There are a number of reasons to have someone followed. The most common one is where a spouse suspects
their wife or husband of having an affair. Some other situations are shown and described below.
ADULTERY
If you suspect that your spouse is having an affair then surveillance should be conducted when he/she has
time to meet with the other person. Every case is different but surveillance times should focus on when you
think he/she is available to meet the other person. You have to watch and question everything he/she says to
you. Something as simple as working out at the gym can provide enough time for them to get together. A
business executive may say that he has to leave early on Friday to attend a seminar. There may be an actual
seminar that day but guess what, he’s leaving early to meet his girlfriend. People that cheat on their spouse
come up with one lie after another. We can help guide you through the thought process of determining an
appropriate time period. All of the information that you provide us is strictly confidential. Our goal is to
conduct surveillance and remain undetected by the person being followed as well as the general public.
CHILD CUSTODY
In this type of situation we are usually trying to show that one of the parents of the child have a faulty decision
making process. This can be something as simple as not using a car seat or a more serious situation like
drinking and driving, physical abuse or leaving the child with others while going out to the bar. Our goal is to
document any and all behavior that will help you in court. The judge starts out the case viewing both parents
equally. Our evidence can help the judge make an informed decision that’s in the child’s best interest.
COHABITATION
There are times where we are asked to see if anyone is currently living with another person. The reasons for
this vary but our approach is the same. Investigators establish a surveillance position on the residence so
that anyone entering or exiting the residence can be video taped. The investigator must hide out in the
vehicle so that they cannot be seen by the subject or neighbors. Once we determine that another adult has
arrived at the residence we would obtain the vehicle make, model and tag number in order to get their
identity. A decision would be make as to the importance of documenting whether this person spends the night
and appropriate action would be taken by investigators.
DRUG USE
Catching a person in the act of buying or using drugs is very difficult. It’s just part of the users daily routine
to keep anyone from seeing it take place. There are times where we are successful in video taping what
appears to be the exchange of drugs for money. The subject drives downtown into a run down area. The
subject pulls to the curb while at the same time a person on the sidewalk reaches into the passenger window
pulling their arm back out within a split second. The subject drives away and returns home. We all know what
probably just happened but the investigator cannot testify that the subject purchased drugs. We can show the
video tape to the judge and let him/her decide how likely it is that drugs were purchased. Obtaining this type
of evidence usually takes multiple attempts unless you know where and when the drugs are being purchased
in advance.
ALCOHOL ABUSE
Most of the time when there is a drinking problem it is related to a Child Custody case. The parent in
question is placing the child in danger by drinking and driving. The parent gets off of work at 3:30 p.m., goes
to the local bar and has four drinks prior to picking up the child at 5:00 p.m. Our investigators would be inside
the bar counting the number of drinks and the rate of consumption. A recent case had investigators document
the father drinking three beers on a construction job site one hour prior to getting his 10 year old son. They
go from the house to a restaurant where he drinks three more beers in about forty-five minutes then drives
his son home to the mother. After the judge saw our evidence the father was only allowed supervised
visitation.
INSURANCE FRAUD
Over the years, AAA Surveillance, Inc., agents have been called upon to verify the claims of workers who are
alleged to be "disabled." This facet of our business is very rewarding. Especially when we can report that the
subject of our investigation is and continues to be, in need of Worker's Compensation. In such cases, the
insurance carrier is reassured that the system is working. However, our agents have repeatedly uncovered
fraudulent and bogus claims. On countless occasions, we have recorded activities of people who are collecting
compensation improperly and illegally. These people, we feel, are cheating those who really need the system.
Frequently, the subject is followed and observed at their unreported source of income. Agents have also found
claimants engaged in physical endeavors that would be impossible for a truly "disabled" worker. Exposing
thieves, cheats, and frauds for the Worker's Compensation program is rapidly becoming a favorite case
scenario in this office. We look forward to hearing from you and will work hard to earn your business.

| ACTUAL SURVEILLANCE PHOTOS |
| TYPICAL SURVEILLANCE CASES |
| TOP 10 SIGNS OF ADULTERY |
| 1) Cell Phone: You notice that your spouse is never without his/her cell phone. Ask yourself this question. If you wanted to look through your spouses recent call list or text messages, would you have easy access to the phone? 2) Work Schedule: Most of the time a cheating spouse just needs 30 to 45 minutes to meet the other person. Has his/her work schedule changed at all? Leaving a little early or staying a little late? 3) Errands: Do you notice a change in evening or weekend activities? Is your spouse running more errands then usual? |
| 4) Marital Intimacy: Has there been a unusual change in behavior related to marital sex? Most of the time we hear that there has been a sudden drop in activity. In a small percentage of cases there is actually an increase. 5) Gym or Exercise: We all go through the stage where we want to lose some weight. So with this one you have to just add it to the list of suspicious behavior. If most of the other signs don't apply then this one alone would not be of concern. 6) Clothing: Your spouse all of a sudden is buying new clothes and in particular, designer underwear. Looking nice and caring about your appearance is great, unless you fine a few other things on this list to go with it. 7) Perfume / Cologne: So you've spent many years with your spouse and this has never been a real priority. Now all of a sudden the bottles of perfume or cologne are starting to accumulate. 8) Temper: Doesn't want to have to account for his/her time away from you. Gets defensive and just doesn't want to discuss it. They turn to anger in order to avoid the difficult questions presented. 9) No Answer: I always hear this one from my clients. "My spouse would ALWAYS answer my phone calls no matter what". So now you have noticed periods of time where he/she will not answer the phone. 10) Vehicle: Your spouse has become protective of his/her vehicle. That extra set of keys is missing or you don't even have a key to it any more. |
| HOW TO PROVE ADULTERY |
How Do I Prove Adultery?
(provided by Gimmel, Weiman, Ersek & Blomberg, P.A.)
To obtain a divorce on the grounds of adultery in Maryland, you must prove that your spouse had the
"opportunity" and "disposition" to commit adultery.
"Opportunity" may be shown by your spouse spending time alone with a member of the opposite sex in a
residence or hotel. "Disposition" may be shown by some public display of affection or intimate correspondence.
There are 2 defenses which may prevent a divorce based on adultery: condonation (forgiveness) or
recrimination (adultery by the claiming spouse).
Adultery is a misdemeanor crime in Maryland. Therefore, a spouse has the right to plead the 5th Amendment
and refuse to answer questions about adultery. In such event, the Court may infer that the adultery occurred.
Unlike other grounds for divorce, adultery is a ground that allows for an immediate divorce, without any
minimum period of separation required.
What Are Grounds For Divorce?
(provided by Gimmel, Weiman, Ersek & Blomberg, P.A.)
In Maryland, there are 8 grounds for divorce: adultery; desertion for 12 continuous months; voluntary
separation for 12 continuous months; two-year separation; conviction of a felony or misdemeanor with
incarceration for at least 1 year under a sentence of 3 or more years; insanity, with the spouse institutionalized
for at least 3 years and the insanity is incurable; cruelty of treatment; or excessively vicious conduct.
To be "separated", spouses must live in separate residences. The separation is interrupted if spouses have
sexual relations with one another, resume living together, or even spend one night together under the same
roof, regardless of whether or not they sleep in separate bedrooms.

| GPS Vehicle Tracking (Rental) |
| GPS Tracking Devices are extremely useful to investigators. They allow investigators to monitor the location of a vehicle via the Internet. Investigators can determine if the vehicle is parked at a residence, business or any other location. It is recommended that a GPS tracking device be used in conjunction with surveillance whenever possible. Investigators can see where the vehicle is located anytime day or night (24/7). Tracking devices can help determine a pattern of activity over a period of time or aid investigators when trying to follow the subject through town. If investigators lose the subject in heavy traffic, the tracking device can help relocate the vehicle so surveillance can continue. A typical report will show all STOPS made, how long it was parked and the location of the vehicle on Google Maps. We can also show locations/situations where the vehicle is parked but the engine continues to idle. These reports are provided on a daily basis for your review. Rental pricing is $300 (one time charge) and includes (7) days of tracking / report. Each additional day is $15 until the device is returned. We also offer LIVE REPORTING. An investigator watches the vehicle live via the Internet and informs you as soon as movement occurs as well as location information. The cost for LIVE REPORTING is $25 per hour and can be scheduled for any number of hours (24/7). Download Link - Rental Agreement Form: |
