THE LAPTOP/CELL PHONE PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR
In the last article that I wrote, I described the self-reliant career of a Private Investigator. Today I would like to expand upon the career route that most Private Investigators choose " the lone wolf of the Private Investigation industry, otherwise known as the Laptop PI. Some Private Investigators opt for the safe routine of working as an employee for an agency. Others strive to build a large agency that hires investigators of various specialties and provides clients with a full lineup of investigative services.
The Laptop PI is an investigator who prefers to work alone; he is only connected to others in the industry for purposes of receiving cases, trading cases and keeping up on technological trends in the business. He has two officesthe car and the home den. He would never buy an immobile desktop, as his laptop and Internet access cell phone act as a mobile office.
The Laptop PI is one cautious individual. His house is in a trust, his utilities arent in his name, he pays his cell phone bill in cash every month and the billing address leads to a dead-end. He hasnt had a landline in ten years. The Internet Air Card he has plugged into his laptop provides him with a true mobile office. He can locate almost anyone in the country but no one can locate him.
He does a good business with several attorneys, a string of wronged husbands or wives, professional suers, and occasionally he subcontracts for PI agencies. His mind is always on his cases as the solution or an ingenuous new direction always comes to him in his off time.
Unlike with a large agency, the Laptop PI can clear up his cases, stop taking new ones and take some time off when desired. He knows that his work is sought after and can start up where it left off as soon as he returns. With his only business overhead being his cell phone, Internet Air Card, insurance and yearly PI license renewal fees, he is no slave to the rat race.
Low overhead, substantial profit and non-negotiable freedom sum up the Laptop Private Investigator!
