One mistake. One oversight. One outdated clause on your service contract... And boom — you're the subject of the next investigation. Too many PIs operate like cowboys. 🧨 No formal service agreements. 🧨 No written scopes of work. 🧨 No clue how licensing laws vary state-to-state. That’s not bold. That’s exposed. ✅ Whether you're brand new or 20 years deep, here are 3 legal musts every investigator should have locked down: 1️⃣ Up-to-Date PI License (Don’t assume reciprocity. Know your jurisdiction’s rules — or you’re trespassing, not investigating.) 2️⃣ Client Agreement Template (Scope of work, liability limits, refund terms, & attorney’s fee clause — or risk unpaid invoices and legal blowback.) 3️⃣ Surveillance Do’s & Don’ts List (Recording laws, privacy zones, and when “blending in” becomes “breaking in.” Know. The. Line.) 🧠 Don’t wait until you're the headline. Audit your legal protections this week. Let’s keep our licenses tight and our lawsuits nonexistent. #InvestigatorSyndicate #PILicensing #LegalProtection #KnowTheLaw #PILife
