Know the Most Affordable Private Investigator - Michael Featherstone

Myth About Private Detective

• When most people think of private detectives, they think of a messy bloke with a long camera lens trained on a bedroom window.

• This quaint notion is far removed from reality.

Mick Featherstone, a former organized crime unit detective and now a Queensland private investigator, said modern spy technology had advanced so quickly that often PIs can know everything they need to know about someone without even leaving their office.

• Mr. Featherstone, of Gold Coast firm Phoenix Global, said the proliferation of James Bond-like technology had led to a boom in the "infidelity" business.

• "Technology is really sophisticated these days and clients want me to use any gadgets and devices available to catch out whoever they suspect of infidelity," he said.

• "Over the last three years there has been steady growth in what already is a massive industry."

• Mr. Featherstone said that, when it came to spying on spouses, the sexes were equally suspicious. "We get an even number of males and females wanting us to carry out surveillance," he said.

• Despite the impressive technology available to PIs, Mr. Featherstone advises potential clients to become gumshoe detectives before contacting the professionals, who charge as much as $90 an hour.
