Personal Injury Surveillance

Hi Guys and Girls

I am new to this forum, and was brought here by this thread that I am commenting on,
A little about myself and why I am here, I was injured in a car accident in 2010, I have made a claim for personal Injury, Loss of earnings, and my partner caring for me (from what my solicitor has said "usual claims expenses") Currently I am unable to work and not looking like being able to for some considerable period due to serious injuries sustained to my back and leg, I am basicly house-bound.

My reason for commenting is that me and my family have noticed some very strange things starting to happen recently, and am aware that some of you guys are working in the survelliance industry, I wonder if you could put me and my family`s minds at rest a little.
Firstly is it normal to see various vehicle`s parked outside your home with a person sitting in it? this happens most days
Second, Would an investigator drill a hole in a fence to view a subject? we had a new fence installed last year, someone has gone to the effort of cutting a hole with what appears to be a knife in one of the panels to gain a better view.
Third, is it normal for investigators to knock on the door and pretend to be from a company? This guy got out of his depth quite quickly when we started asking questions about who he worked for!!!
Fourth, I am aware of Tracking devices, but would an investigator follow me? This happend about a month ago, and this guy followed me nearly 20 miles down back roads and main roads (this guy took some serous risks to follow me to my destination!!)

Some of you may think that I am paranoid, others may think mad, however all that I have mentioned above has happened recently and is starting to put strain on the family, Are the points above relevant to the type of things that you do in your line of work? or am I going mad?!?!
 
Long-term surveillance can cause mental stress on the trigger. Other people tend to think they're going mad. As this is where the government to set up in their thesis. It is a protection built into the government services. If you let it go too far they can send you into a mental institute section “and you will be sectioned" no escaping from that. And once you section they can keep you in their fraternity if they so wish.

So be very careful.

The implications of the under surveillance for any period of time can cause mental issues that can last for years (post-traumatic)

Do you know of anybody?
Having these sort of symptoms.

Just to keep the blog going, sending the symptoms that you usually see. (Body language personality change) please send me I would be interested in seeing what comes up.

Keep safe
 
Many times I have seen biomechanical analysis conducted on video of people going about their day to day activities. The biomechanical analysis looks at movement and range of motion to show that an individual is more functional than they may be presenting to doctors and evidence malingering. While it appears they may have gotten harmless video of her, depending on what she has been representing to her doctors, there may be something there that can be used against her.
 
Hi Dasher,

My advice is do not waste much time on this as a legal issue, it's not going anywhere (layman's terms).

All the best.......Nippy
 
From what you’ve described, your friend’s concerns are understandable. In Ireland, private investigators working for defendants in personal injury claims are generally allowed to film claimants in public spaces, even if the land is owned by a housing association, provided no trespass occurs. Permission from the landowner is usually only needed if cameras are placed on private property.

The filming of children can be more sensitive. While investigators focus on the claimant to assess the effect of injuries on daily life, incidental footage of children can happen, and sometimes faces aren’t obscured. Although this is lawful if the children are simply in the background, it’s reasonable for your friend to expect her solicitor to address her worries clearly.

Firms such as Cian O’Carroll Solicitors in Ireland provide guidance on these situations and can advise whether any footage may breach privacy or data protection rights. You can find more information on their website. Consulting a professional can reassure your friend and clarify what is standard practice versus potential overstepping.
