Having a Healthy Level of Suspicion in These Dangerous Times

At one point in time, I would have stated that any type of surveillance and spying was simply creepy and intrusive. In many cases, I still hold that point of view; I do not believe that I am automatically entitled to information about some person's activities simply because I am curious, or because I am nosy. However, when it comes to my business and my family, the rules are different. For me when these two things are involved, the rule is Use Spying Gear Information is Power. One does not even need to approach situations being paranoid or expecting or wanting to catch anybody doing anything that is inappropriate, dishonest, illegal, or dangerous.
Many people I know who have used spying gear, devices have had their faith in humanity bolstered, when they learned that the people they wanted to trust were indeed trustworthy. Others who weren't so fortunate were able to rescue themselves from financial loss and extreme emotional distress. All of them benefited from following my simple rule.
My first use of spying gear was to verify the safety of my child. Our sitter was well educated and sweet, and seemed to generally adore my son. Her behavior gave me no reason to doubt her kindness and capabilities. But, I had read so many horror stories about caregivers mistreating their charges, I began second guessing myself and found myself reading too deeply into her actions and wondering “what if?” I needed to be reassured. So, I paid a visit to http://www.spygadgets4sale.com and bought a small camera that was in the shape of a tissue box. It was very impressive and truly discreet. I placed the tissue box in our living room as that was the main center of activity and a public enough spot that no reasonable person would have high expectations of privacy. There is a happy ending to this tale, for our sitter was just as wonderful as I expected. In this case, power came in the way of a raise to our beloved nanny. My second use of spying gear led to more disappointing results than my first. It was a painful experience, but in the end I was saved a lot of grief and worry. I own a medium sized trucking and courier service in the Midwest. I employ approximately 30 individuals who drive vans and do regional deliveries. I also employ another ten people who act as over-the-road truck drivers specializing in eastern seaboard deliveries. This type of business requires the ability to trust one’s employees. Sadly, I became suspicious of a few drivers, because their numbers just did not add up. I decided I needed to fit my vehicles with some World and Mini GPS Trackers, Fleet tracking devices to find out what was going on. Sadly, my suspicions were confirmed and I fired one third of my staff. Happily, I now know that I can fully trust my remaining employees and verify the behaviors of new ones. Business is going great.
