A prospective into using and getting listed in various online directories.

Getting
Local Called Phone Records Legally
Licensed Private Investigator. You can help your clients find out who
is making those ID-blocked harassing phone calls even when the phone company
says it can’t or wont. When an anonymous caller is antagonizing
your client, the phone company tells your client it can trap the caller’s
number after three consecutive interloping incidents but they won’t
give your client the information. Instead, they give it to law enforcement.

Where You Point Your Camera
"If you pull out a camera on a New Jersey train, you will have company
- law enforcement company. If you size up a shot on the New York subway,
you'll probably be questioned by security and told to keep the lens cap
tightly on. Even if you plan to snap some innocuous bank building from
a public sidewalk, you might find guards telling you it's not allowed."
A Christian Science Monitor article.
The
Importance of a Written Statement
"An employee has been interviewed and interrogated concerning the
issue of falsifying time card entries. At the conclusion of the interrogation
the investigator brings in a witness who is told that the employee admitted
that he falsified his time card on several occasions in the last six months."
A John Reid Article.

Safeguarding

Finding
Email Addresses Can Mean Searching
Many Databases
As you may have already discovered, finding a particular email address
can be an exercise in frustration. Why so difficult? There are several
reasons.
Can
IP Addresses be Determined From MAC Addresses?
A MAC address represents the physical identifier of a network adapter,
while the IP address represents a logical device address on Internet Protocol
networks. A built-in feature of IP, Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
translates IP addresses to MAC addresses. ARP was not designed to translate
addresses in the other direction, however. There is no universal mechanism
to determine an IP address given a known MAC address, although it can
be done in certain specific situations.
Identity
Theft Prevention
Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in America. It can
occur when a criminal steals personal identifying information such as
name, birth date, Social Security number or your mother’s maiden
name and uses it for their own gain. These thefts can occur through lost
or stolen credit or debit cards, non-secure online transactions, personal
information recovered from your garbage, and most frequently, stolen mail
from your mailbox.
New
Technology-Fingerprint Scan To Access DVDs
Researchers in Los Angeles are developing a new form of piracy protection
for DVDs that could make common practices like loaning a movie to a friend
impossible.
University of California at Los Angeles engineering professor Rajit Gadh
is leading research to turn radio frequency identification, or RFID, tags
into an extremely restrictive form of digital rights management to protect
DVD movies.
How
Private Are Medical Records?
Your health records use to be considered a private matter between your
doctor and you. With the continued growth of the third person health maintenance
organizations (HMO's), doctors are required to share their records with
each other and the HMO's.
