He's absolutely right about people over interpreting body language. I have a hangup about eye contact because when I was young I was told it was rude to stare. Somehow, that developed into feeling like eye contact was equal to staring and it makes me uncomfortable. Some think if people cross their arms or put their hands in their pockets while you're talking to them, it means X, Y, Z. That's not universally true at all, but sometimes someone hears it someplace and they accept it as absolute fact. People are so much more complicated than such simple A-to-B equivalencies.
I've found that the people who over interpret body language are people who don't actually know anything about body language. My mom is a behavior scientist. And I've definitely caught some secondhand knowledge. He said it perfectly in the video. You notice things, but don't draw conclusions unless you know more.
I don't make eye contact. Never have. I'm also a fidgety person. I can't just sit still. I can giggle at inappropriate times or smile. I also have a hard time explaining things and I can go off on some random tangent where one subject leads me into another and another and I can forget what my original point was but typing I can keep focus. It's weird. But, yeah, I don't think any "body language expert" is going to do well with me.
Body language is also different for cultures. Then you have people who are autistic or neurodivegerent. Or abused/traumatized who have atypical body language. Personally, I don't look strangers in the eyes, especially other men. Also, anxiety disorders are a thing. So him speaking to me could be enough to make me nervous. I don't have to be guilty or lying to be terrified. Body language isn't an exact science, but a cultural one, and has lead to soooo many issues for me due to miscommunication I didn't even realize was happening.
It's all about monitoring prior to confrontation. Paying attention to interactions throughout the targets daily interactions gives background knowledge of that persons habits during different types of said interactions. Prodding and switching the tone during is a helpful tool as well. Biggest thing, lead the interrogation into a voluntary release of information; or social engineering. Getting somebody to trust you to the point that it all spills out, in what is perceived to be a personal setting, will obtain more information than any other form. Be that guy/girl that can just know you need a friend. Be that shoulder to lean on that is so instantly trustworthy that it's useless to withhold information. It's all an act... a circus, and you're the ringmaster.

I work is a investigator in Vegas. Hands down one of the best jobs you could ever do. One thing no one ever brings up is how on point you have to be with your reports as we could called to court for just about everything. Also Vegas PD really likes us. They got my back on more then one occasion.
@@JankyJack yeah if that’s correct I’m license to work in California Nevada Utah and Arizona. There are a few states that you don’t need a technical private investigator license to work in. And there’s also a few legal loopholes. For instance if I follow a case to let’s say New Jersey and I don’t have a license there I can contact a local company split some of the profits with them and they can make me a temporary employee under their license. I’ve also handled a case in Mexico and I know of investigator has handled a case in Germany as well as Canada. For international work because everything is basically being filed under United States courts as long as you’re just gathering evidence and information and you don’t openly tell the local police what you’re doing you should be fine but you definitely have to be a little bit more cautious because unlike in the states he can’t show them your identification card and you could possibly end up getting arrested.
I hate the "looking away they must be hiding something" thing, social anxiety and the inability to make eye contact is way more common than people realize.
And cultures. Some cultures find eye contact rude. Others find lack of eye contact rude. Also social anxiety, as you pointed out, along with a plethora of other potential reasons why body language meanings may vary person-to-person.

Fun listening to him, truly fascinating to learn some of the lines a PI can or can't cross. Hope they have him back to do more reviews, I want to see more!!
In “Vertigo,” Jimmy Stewart stops in the middle of the lane because the woman he was following had just pulled up to his apartment. He then parked his car and approached her to have a conversation. He wasn’t really trying be remain unseen at that point.
Yeah and in "Sherlock" they should have shown him the entire scene. Dimmock had already come to the conclusion that the victim had died due to suicide and Sherlock was proving that it was murder since the bullet wound was on the right side of his head.
I appreciate that he specifies not to fall into the FBI body leading trap. You CANNOT tell categorically whether someone is lying just by watching their eyes, or their brow, etc. You need to develop an instinct for that over time. I’m also FASCINATED by the statistic about women being so freakishly accurate in their instinct for when a man is having an affair. That’s really impressive…
Never underestimate the power of a women's intuition. Some women can recognize your game before you even play it. Couldn't find the source of that quote, but that statistic is kind of terrifying. Screw anyone who cheats on another person anyway.
No surprise he gave "True Detective" an 8. It is one of best series ever made. Great script, mind-blowing acting. Ofcourse I'm talking specifically about season 1!
I dunno, honestly you could flip the stat - say that women don’t hire someone unless they’re *really sure*, whereas men are more likely to be paranoid, and therefore wrong, about their wife’s platonic friendships/coworkers who are men. That doesn’t necessarily mean that women will always figure it out.
All me exes new EXACTLY when I had sex with someone else. It's really metalhysical on a level. It's their super power Oh, and, fyi, that was always during open relationships
It's a bit of survivorship bias, though. He doesn't know the cases when someone was cheating and the partner *didn't* suspect it, nor does he know the cases where a partner does suspect it but doesn't employ a PI. It's better framed as "women are rarely wrong when they suspect enough to call a PI".
People go "why did they not cover this or that?" but since every other show on TV is about a PI, it's hard to cover them all. I like that he uses almost the full spectrum and actually gives 10/10.
He can't really rate Sherlock Holmes as a PI. Holmes explicitly said that he was a "consulting detective" and not an "investigator into private affairs", saying that he would never stoop to something so mundane. Holmes solves crimes. He does not investigate into infidelity or other nonsense. If it turns out no crime was committed, he quickly drops the case. The police employ him as a consultant and, as for his disguise, in that scene he was in the middle of circus freaks. Looking absurd was the best disguise
Yes, the "tells" of someone lying are just the same of someone terrified or extremely uncomfortable, which would very likely be the case if you´re being interrogated.
The PI scene that's always stuck out to me most was in China Town when Jack Nicholson takes a business card from somebody, and then later in the film gives the business card to somebody else and pretends to be them. I'd love to see them go over that
Fun fact: the peodession of private investigator/detective first came about in France in the first half of the 19th century by a reformed bandit called Vidocq. Vidicq invented and codified many of the first forensic techniques that were adopted by the police, as Vidocq often worked closely with the police. He became the inspiration for many fictional detectives like Holmes, Poirot and Maigret.
tbh id'say jessica jones i a solid 6.5. it's marvel ofc, so in the end the whole pi thing is tossed over the windows. but they did their best. ( damn i whish i could jump as far as her so i could have nice picture, fck superheroes)
As a former private investigator I can tell you that 90% of the work is total boredom and 10% action. Sit and wait and watch, then follow someone. Then write reports. That's the job in a nutshell.
I think the Sherlock scene was a bit underrated, because there's a bit of context missing because Sherlock got there first and got a chance to assess the scene first and determined that it wasn't a suicide. He's showing all the ways that the guy is left handed to dissuade the assumption being made that the case was a suicide Addendum: There are few more things with the Sherlock clip that are lost context when this clip is played in a vacuum. Sherlock is not a Private Investigator, he's a Consultant Detective. The Police ask him to help them investigate these cases. And one more important note, Dummock is not the guy Sherlock usually works with. It's Lieutenant Lestrade, who's out of town in this episode. Lestrade is up to scuff on Sherlock and his methodology, Dummock isn't
The "if it's online it's there forever and it will be found" is chilling. I mean, I've always known it, but putting it like that by a PI is really chilling.
I don't think people mind if the show gets something wrong, but with the cops saying it was a suicide, any further investigation of the possibility of homicide is out the window at that point. They might reclassify the case after the autopsy at the earliest, but by that time the killer is gone or has killed again. Sherlock was in the right to point all that out. Also, he found the crime scene and is contracted by the police regularly to help, so it's not out of the question for him to be allowed to investigate. Though, each state and country would have their own rules to abide by.
I can’t remember if it was the detective or the forensics guy but one of them pointed out that someone being left handed is nice to know but doesn’t necessarily dictate that they use their dominant hand for *everything*, so it wouldn’t necessarily rule out a left-hander using a gun with their right hand. (And I have a left handed sibling who does use their right hand for quite a lot, just because you don’t always have access to proper tools, and a partner who is right handed but uses their left hand for some things, so I believe it.)
Nah I'm not pissed. This video is about how realistic these movies/shows are and i know that the character Sherlock Holmes isn't that realistic. I'm fine with 5/10
@@HirathaYT There are a lot of people that use their weak hand over their dominant hand for certain tasks. However, firing a weapon is usually not one of those things. That's one of those tasks where the dominant hand would be used out of preference or habit. Especially since in England guns aren't used that often for anything other than sport for the majority of people. Yes, it is possible that someone will use their off-hand to shoot, it's unlikely. Especially considering the entire apartment is littered with hints of left-handedness.
@Joe Mangle I think he had a private detective license. If you remember he took on many cases outside of the ones he worked on with the police, usually because of prodding from Natalie.
I was watching an episode of the1980's version of Magnum P.I. a few months ago. I couldn't help but laugh when there was a scene with 6'4" Tom Selleck sitting in a bright red Ferrari with the top down, and he's supposedly watching for a particular person to come out of the building across the street and he doesn't expect to get noticed! Between women being interested in him and men being interested in the car, he'd probably draw a crowd.
If you live in urban or suburban areas , you probably have seen PI ( or otherwise people doing PI- ish activities professionally , that may or may not require a literal Detective License in that jurisdiction ) . They were just doing so discreetly .
Such a law-abiding PI. So basically to make an entertaining film/TV show, the detective has to break laws frequently. I'm more shook about seeing James Bond in a Southern accent to be honest... 😱🙀 I can't unsee it Oh and remember how Ariadne Oliver (from the Agatha Christie's "Poirot") would always talk about the female intuition. Thank you for this, great upload.
I've been a private investigator for over a decade and it's refreshing to hear someone from my profession dispel a lot of the Hollywood rumors about what our job is. Excellent video
1) "No traffic between the cars" in the movie Vertigo is actually realistic for the era which is 1958. In that time period, about 39.3% of people use cars (and those who own cars only had one), while over 48% of people walked or used the bus/streetcar. If anything, there should be more pedestrians than depicted in Vertigo. 2) No security on the Internet is very frightenly true. The Internet (or more accurately the World Wide Web) was never really designed with security in mind. All the security features today were add to it afterwards and anyone with the knowledge and proper equipment can break any security on the Web if they are willing to spend the time and effort. Users are only safe in the sense that hackers have so many victims to choose from that they probably over look a specific user ... for the moment.
i was wondering if someone made this point. when hiding in a circus, the best disguise is a clown. if everyone around you looks strange you won't stand out if you look a bit silly, and the silly traits will draw attention away from your normal traits so you are less likely to be recognized once you discard the disguise.
Now I'm really curious to know what the "special hardware and software" he's talking about that only licensed investigators can use is capable of... Sounds like some really advanced stuff
If you see them, they're doing a bad job. I worked at a place when a fired employee tried to sue the employer. His lawyer sent a private investigator to gather evidence for the civil suit. The same guy came in every night for 2 months. I was working in a concert hall so this guy would show up for a gangster rap show followed by a death metal show followed by a K-pop show and all the while, he was taking pictures of my crew doing their job everyday. Still, most of my co-workers never noticed.
Same for me, except it's tea. Also, I prefer a nightstand to my right on the bed, and I randomly choose electrical outlets. Most of us left handed people seem to be a bit mixed, and we have better proficiency with our right hands than right handed people ever will with their left because this world is designed around them.
im left-handed and use both hands for mugs, but mostly the right hand. I also use a knife with the left hand unless im also holding a fork. Then im holding the knife in the right hand. Sherlock would be so confused.
Let me get this straight: looking into an apartment with telephoto lens is a no-no ("expectation of privacy"), but if a wife brings a cheating husband’s laptop, it is fair game and legal?
In most countries marriage means that everything you own is partially also owned by your wife/husband. Same as they have automatic access to information about you in hospital, at police station etc.
2:30 To be fair, Sherlock (Cumberbatch) is made up and a bit different than a regular PI, he's a consulting detective, and about the investigators will eventually notice stuff with crime scene photos etc., Sherlock told Detective inspector Dimmock that the investigation might "move a bit quicker" if he takes Sherlock's words as gospel.
Sherlock would be so incredibly annoyed to know he was included in a video about Private Investigators. He is very adamant about the fact he is the one and only consulting detective in existence, not a private investigator.
The talk about social media is on spot. If you wanna have your privacy secured, either don´t use social media at all, or use some sort of "fake" account with no real information to have contact with friends - still, bear in mind, that Facebook in particular is recording every message you´ve sent, every status you´ve dis/liked, etc; so either Facebook itself or state authorities can find out, who you are. And that stuff will very likely remain on their servers even after you delete your account. On the internet, anonymity is your best friend.
No Raymond Chandler? I would have loved to see his impressions on some of the Philip Marlowe adaptations like Murder, My Sweet (1944), The Big Sleep (1946), or The Brasher Doubloon (1947). Also Films like The Maltese Falcon, either the 1931 or 1941.
great content... I am a one man private investigation operation in Anchorage, Alaska.. I contract through the federal government and the state... the private cases when you surveil can get interesting.. when you know your city I think it is about anticipating their destination when tailing in your vehicle... I followed an alleged drug dealer not long ago.. it was intense situation.. the other concept I realized is that when following someone on foot or in a bar not to get in your head about them making you.. obviously you should know from your client the subject's awareness of possibly being followed.. but my point was don't overthink that because they made quick eye contact with you that you are made... anyway... I am rambling a little bit.. I have a surveillance gig here tomorrow that I am prepping
Kinda on-topic thing to relate: look up the recording of conversations laws in your country/state/whatever. That way you know if you can record certain conversations if needed for evidence against someone/prove your innocence at some point. For example: In Canada, it is federal law that you can record any conversation that you are involved in, involved as in participating. Whether it's a phone call, in-person etc... also you must check what consent is needed, some places require all-parties consent IOW everyone needs to consent to being recorded. In Canada you only need one-party consent... sooooo basically you can consent for yourself to be recorded, to yourself, in your mind. Final result: you are legally allowed to record any of YOUR conversations in Canada w/o telling the other person.
Yep, it's why sometimes you get that "this call is being recorded for quality assurance" when you are talking to a business or organization and sometimes you don't.
12:48 to be more specific when he says multiple turns do 4 four turns in the same direction so four right or four left if they're still behind you there's a good chance they're tailing you. Find a well lit populated place like a Super market or something like that
I'm left-handed in writing but most people's assumptions about which hand I use for different things are wrong.. the only thing they know for sure is I write with my left hand.
Making accusations to your face , or gossiping at work are free , and therefore have low barrier to engage in . For most people spending a couple $ thousands is a big enough commitment to not undertake unless they're already sure .
My wife tried hiring an investigation team , thankfully I was friends with the guy who owned the firm and we came to an agreement of sorts to keep the wife happy. She spent 3k on it and when I asked her what it's for she said for new clothes.. yea right.
Interesting to hear his honest assessment of the comparisons between PI work and law enforcement actually be a plug for their service. The bureaucracy and red tape surrounding just reporting a stolen [edit] _musical_ instrument to the police can be totally side-stepped by using a more expensive but more committed PI facility. Will keep this in mind. 😁
Darn! I was really waiting for him to talk about Sam Spade from The Maltese Falcon (1941)! Unfortunately, Insider only asks people to review clips from modern movies and NONE from the golden era of hollywood.
3:04: "But, if you start assuming too much, you might have fallen into a trap for what they're trying to make themselves be portrayed as." You might also just fall into a trap of your own prejudices and expectations. I'm left-handed, but I do a lot of things right-handed, because that was more convenient. My mouse is on the right side of the keyboard, and my alarm clock is on the right side of my desk. I'll eat with fork and knife in either hand, and I'll pick up a pitcher or mug with whichever hand's convenient. I also part my hair from left to right (with my left hand), something that Cracked thinks left-handers never do. If you're snooping around my apartment trying to figure out whether I'm left- or right- handed, you're better off checking my scissors. But not the scissors that came with my cooking knife set. Those are right-handed. I use them perfectly well, because there weren't always left-handed scissors available. So maybe just ask my parents.
The Ace Ventura part with him ACTUALLY taking the dog seems more like a a case of opportunity and that the intention was to verify the suspect and the whether the dog could be accessible on return visits.
Magnum wouldn't be driving that Ferrari either, but he has a long-term gig as a security consultant for a wealthy island resident, and he's taking full advantage of the perks.
...Unless on a road system littered with fancy sports cars. (Actually, iirc, he did most of his tailing from the passenger seat of his buddy's helicopter.)
I've talked to a private eye before I know for a fact that some of the things that he criticized as something that a private eye wouldn't do because it's illegal wouldn't necessarily be true in some states while being illegal in others ( there are a lot of variables, whether or not something is illegal or not in a particular state is just one of those variables!!!
fun fact: he is still on duty and probably got a contract to investigate in insider's recording room from someone.

Maybe women are less likely to hire a private investigator and only wait till they are fairly certain. The men who hire an investigator might be more insecure or jealous. There's a lot of ways to look at it

I work is a investigator in Vegas. Hands down one of the best jobs you could ever do. One thing no one ever brings up is how on point you have to be with your reports as we could called to court for just about everything. Also Vegas PD really likes us. They got my back on more then one occasion.
So he brought up a point I didn't know. When he said he could investigate anywhere in the world, investigators have no jurisdiction?
@@billd3356 only in states you are certified. Cant do out of country. in the U.S. anyway. unless you have a federal contract.
@@JankyJack yeah if that’s correct I’m license to work in California Nevada Utah and Arizona.
There are a few states that you don’t need a technical private investigator license to work in. And there’s also a few legal loopholes. For instance if I follow a case to let’s say New Jersey and I don’t have a license there I can contact a local company split some of the profits with them and they can make me a temporary employee under their license.
I’ve also handled a case in Mexico and I know of investigator has handled a case in Germany as well as Canada. For international work because everything is basically being filed under United States courts as long as you’re just gathering evidence and information and you don’t openly tell the local police what you’re doing you should be fine but you definitely have to be a little bit more cautious because unlike in the states he can’t show them your identification card and you could possibly end up getting arrested.
How do you get into the industry. I seriously think this is something I'd love doing.
Hoho nice
I hate the "looking away they must be hiding something" thing, social anxiety and the inability to make eye contact is way more common than people realize.
agreed
And cultures. Some cultures find eye contact rude. Others find lack of eye contact rude.
Also social anxiety, as you pointed out, along with a plethora of other potential reasons why body language meanings may vary person-to-person.

In “Vertigo,” Jimmy Stewart stops in the middle of the lane because the woman he was following had just pulled up to his apartment. He then parked his car and approached her to have a conversation. He wasn’t really trying be remain unseen at that point.
It didn't appear he was trying to be unseen at any point
Yeah and in "Sherlock" they should have shown him the entire scene. Dimmock had already come to the conclusion that the victim had died due to suicide and Sherlock was proving that it was murder since the bullet wound was on the right side of his head.
I appreciate that he specifies not to fall into the FBI body leading trap. You CANNOT tell categorically whether someone is lying just by watching their eyes, or their brow, etc. You need to develop an instinct for that over time.
I’m also FASCINATED by the statistic about women being so freakishly accurate in their instinct for when a man is having an affair. That’s really impressive…
Never underestimate the power of a women's intuition. Some women can recognize your game before you even play it.
Couldn't find the source of that quote, but that statistic is kind of terrifying. Screw anyone who cheats on another person anyway.
@@yewcraynian7915 having done it, and been caught, and living with guilt and shame for years, I must agree.
@@Moose92411 It could also mean that women only hire a private investigator when they're already sure.
No surprise he gave "True Detective" an 8. It is one of best series ever made. Great script, mind-blowing acting.
Ofcourse I'm talking specifically about season 1!
Until that dogshit last episode.
Matthew McConaughey was great in this.
For sure season 1
true, but to be more accurate they end being pi only in the end, they are still former officer much of the time. ( but damn that serie)
That one scene
that stat about women knowing when their men are cheating is amazing. I'd guess scent plays a major factor.
I suspect it's not even so clinical, it probably just comes down to a certain kind of emotional intelligence.
I dunno, honestly you could flip the stat - say that women don’t hire someone unless they’re *really sure*, whereas men are more likely to be paranoid, and therefore wrong, about their wife’s platonic friendships/coworkers who are men. That doesn’t necessarily mean that women will always figure it out.
@@HirathaYT good approach. And yeah we are a little bit paranoid.
All me exes new EXACTLY when I had sex with someone else. It's really metalhysical on a level. It's their super power
Oh, and, fyi, that was always during open relationships
It's a bit of survivorship bias, though. He doesn't know the cases when someone was cheating and the partner *didn't* suspect it, nor does he know the cases where a partner does suspect it but doesn't employ a PI.
It's better framed as "women are rarely wrong when they suspect enough to call a PI".
People go "why did they not cover this or that?" but since every other show on TV is about a PI, it's hard to cover them all. I like that he uses almost the full spectrum and actually gives 10/10.
So true and I didn't pick
Love how he gives the movies credit for trying to be entertaining but still gives a pretty honest score
I've been watching so many of the "Professional Rates Scenes From Movies and TV Shows" and I love them! Keep up the awesome content :)
Did the same. The bad part is I couldn't prevent myself from spoiling me movies I wanted to watch.
He can't really rate Sherlock Holmes as a PI. Holmes explicitly said that he was a "consulting detective" and not an "investigator into private affairs", saying that he would never stoop to something so mundane. Holmes solves crimes. He does not investigate into infidelity or other nonsense. If it turns out no crime was committed, he quickly drops the case. The police employ him as a consultant and, as for his disguise, in that scene he was in the middle of circus freaks. Looking absurd was the best disguise
Yes, the "tells" of someone lying are just the same of someone terrified or extremely uncomfortable, which would very likely be the case if you´re being interrogated.
right like have they ever heard of anxiety
If he rates detective conan, he'll finish half of it when he's 800 years old.

Fun fact: the peodession of private investigator/detective first came about in France in the first half of the 19th century by a reformed bandit called Vidocq. Vidicq invented and codified many of the first forensic techniques that were adopted by the police, as Vidocq often worked closely with the police. He became the inspiration for many fictional detectives like Holmes, Poirot and Maigret.
Arthur Conan Doyle told his professor Dr. Joseph Bell, that he was the inspiration for Sherlock Holmes

As a former private investigator I can tell you that 90% of the work is total boredom and 10% action. Sit and wait and watch, then follow someone. Then write reports. That's the job in a nutshell.
I think the Sherlock scene was a bit underrated, because there's a bit of context missing because Sherlock got there first and got a chance to assess the scene first and determined that it wasn't a suicide.
He's showing all the ways that the guy is left handed to dissuade the assumption being made that the case was a suicide
Addendum: There are few more things with the Sherlock clip that are lost context when this clip is played in a vacuum. Sherlock is not a Private Investigator, he's a Consultant Detective. The Police ask him to help them investigate these cases. And one more important note, Dummock is not the guy Sherlock usually works with. It's Lieutenant Lestrade, who's out of town in this episode. Lestrade is up to scuff on Sherlock and his methodology, Dummock isn't
DI Lestrade. British police don't have lieutenants.
This guy just convinced me not to trust Priuses...
I dont trust them
Haven't trusted them (or their owners) since they were first rolled out.
I'd like to hear this guy's take on Burn Notice and some of the advice that Michael Weston gives about surveillance and such.
I was hoping for 4 shows. Burn Notice, Psych, White Collar and Monk
The "if it's online it's there forever and it will be found" is chilling. I mean, I've always known it, but putting it like that by a PI is really chilling.
it is tho, don't put anything on internet, only the things you are not worried to be accountable for. if some.
Sherlock getting 5/10 ... damn bro fans are going to be really pissed off
I don't think people mind if the show gets something wrong, but with the cops saying it was a suicide, any further investigation of the possibility of homicide is out the window at that point. They might reclassify the case after the autopsy at the earliest, but by that time the killer is gone or has killed again. Sherlock was in the right to point all that out. Also, he found the crime scene and is contracted by the police regularly to help, so it's not out of the question for him to be allowed to investigate. Though, each state and country would have their own rules to abide by.
I can’t remember if it was the detective or the forensics guy but one of them pointed out that someone being left handed is nice to know but doesn’t necessarily dictate that they use their dominant hand for *everything*, so it wouldn’t necessarily rule out a left-hander using a gun with their right hand. (And I have a left handed sibling who does use their right hand for quite a lot, just because you don’t always have access to proper tools, and a partner who is right handed but uses their left hand for some things, so I believe it.)
Nah I'm not pissed. This video is about how realistic these movies/shows are and i know that the character Sherlock Holmes isn't that realistic. I'm fine with 5/10
@@HirathaYT There are a lot of people that use their weak hand over their dominant hand for certain tasks. However, firing a weapon is usually not one of those things. That's one of those tasks where the dominant hand would be used out of preference or habit. Especially since in England guns aren't used that often for anything other than sport for the majority of people. Yes, it is possible that someone will use their off-hand to shoot, it's unlikely. Especially considering the entire apartment is littered with hints of left-handedness.
The better one got 8 tho...

This guy is so literal. Exactly what youd expect from a PI.
No Monk? Motherless Brooklyn? We need a Part 2. Thanks for posting.

@Joe Mangle I think he had a private detective license. If you remember he took on many cases outside of the ones he worked on with the police, usually because of prodding from Natalie.
Im all for a part 2
I was watching an episode of the1980's version of Magnum P.I. a few months ago. I couldn't help but laugh when there was a scene with 6'4" Tom Selleck sitting in a bright red Ferrari with the top down, and he's supposedly watching for a particular person to come out of the building across the street and he doesn't expect to get noticed! Between women being interested in him and men being interested in the car, he'd probably draw a crowd.
it the perfect blend. who would expect it? even the pi says, its fake and dont believe it
Really love the video. I've never seen a real detective! He is perfect! And he explained it well.
If you live in urban or suburban areas , you probably have seen PI ( or otherwise people doing PI- ish activities professionally , that may or may not require a literal Detective License in that jurisdiction ) . They were just doing so discreetly .
Thank You
Wait, where's Mike Ehrmantraut, the most OP P.I. on TV? You guys need to do an entire episode on Mike.
He's actually a more realistic portrayal of a PI than most movies
Mike E. is one of the best characters in modern TV history.
Such a law-abiding PI. So basically to make an entertaining film/TV show, the detective has to break laws frequently.

I've been a private investigator for over a decade and it's refreshing to hear someone from my profession dispel a lot of the Hollywood rumors about what our job is. Excellent video
1) "No traffic between the cars" in the movie Vertigo is actually realistic for the era which is 1958. In that time period, about 39.3% of people use cars (and those who own cars only had one), while over 48% of people walked or used the bus/streetcar. If anything, there should be more pedestrians than depicted in Vertigo.
2) No security on the Internet is very frightenly true. The Internet (or more accurately the World Wide Web) was never really designed with security in mind. All the security features today were add to it afterwards and anyone with the knowledge and proper equipment can break any security on the Web if they are willing to spend the time and effort. Users are only safe in the sense that hackers have so many victims to choose from that they probably over look a specific user ... for the moment.
Freakin' love the concept of this series. Terrific idea; wish I came up with it. Great work; thank you!
Sure, sherlock's (RDJ) disguise was a bit extra, but at the same time, we was disguising himself amongst a circus.
i was wondering if someone made this point.
when hiding in a circus, the best disguise is a clown.
if everyone around you looks strange you won't stand out if you look a bit silly, and the silly traits will draw attention away from your normal traits so you are less likely to be recognized once you discard the disguise.
Best way to disguise yourself is to act like you're supposed to be there.
Now I'm really curious to know what the "special hardware and software" he's talking about that only licensed investigators can use is capable of... Sounds like some really advanced stuff

This is first time I'm seeing a Private Investigator out of books.
You’ve seen them just didn’t know it.
Devdev 👀
If you see them, they're doing a bad job. I worked at a place when a fired employee tried to sue the employer. His lawyer sent a private investigator to gather evidence for the civil suit. The same guy came in every night for 2 months. I was working in a concert hall so this guy would show up for a gangster rap show followed by a death metal show followed by a K-pop show and all the while, he was taking pictures of my crew doing their job everyday. Still, most of my co-workers never noticed.
being a private investigator seems pretty cool, even though it involves a lot of boring activities
Once you rise to a certain level you choose the cases you work personally
isn't all work boring in their own way ? i do love helping people, and it is good enough for me :)
I'm left-handed and I actually hold a cup of coffee with the right hand.
Same for me, except it's tea. Also, I prefer a nightstand to my right on the bed, and I randomly choose electrical outlets. Most of us left handed people seem to be a bit mixed, and we have better proficiency with our right hands than right handed people ever will with their left because this world is designed around them.
Same cuz everyone, except my dad, is right-handed and I got used to seeing them holding it on their right hand and subconsciously did it.
im left-handed and use both hands for mugs, but mostly the right hand. I also use a knife with the left hand unless im also holding a fork. Then im holding the knife in the right hand. Sherlock would be so confused.
You hold it in non dominant hand so that you could use your dominant hand. Writers of Sherlock made him dumber. Relax. It happened.
the power socket observation only made me realize that i always plug things into my non-dominant side lol
Let me get this straight: looking into an apartment with telephoto lens is a no-no ("expectation of privacy"), but if a wife brings a cheating husband’s laptop, it is fair game and legal?
The law works in funny ways.
If it's your spouse, then it's fair game. Not if you steal somone's laptop and hack into it; that's illegal.
In most countries marriage means that everything you own is partially also owned by your wife/husband. Same as they have automatic access to information about you in hospital, at police station etc.

Sherlock isn’t a private investigator. He’s a consulting detective. He actively works some of the cases (like this one) with the police.
When will be the Serial Killer reacts?
Lmao
I was hoping he'd rate the private investigator from "Psycho." The way he could tell Norman was hiding something, but just let him keep talking.
2:30 To be fair, Sherlock (Cumberbatch) is made up and a bit different than a regular PI, he's a consulting detective, and about the investigators will eventually notice stuff with crime scene photos etc., Sherlock told Detective inspector Dimmock that the investigation might "move a bit quicker" if he takes Sherlock's words as gospel.

The talk about social media is on spot. If you wanna have your privacy secured, either don´t use social media at all, or use some sort of "fake" account with no real information to have contact with friends - still, bear in mind, that Facebook in particular is recording every message you´ve sent, every status you´ve dis/liked, etc; so either Facebook itself or state authorities can find out, who you are. And that stuff will very likely remain on their servers even after you delete your account.
On the internet, anonymity is your best friend.
Rumors say that he investigated while he reacted to this scenes
I will never tell
No Raymond Chandler? I would have loved to see his impressions on some of the Philip Marlowe adaptations like Murder, My Sweet (1944), The Big Sleep (1946), or The Brasher Doubloon (1947). Also Films like The Maltese Falcon, either the 1931 or 1941.
My impressions are they need color
great content... I am a one man private investigation operation in Anchorage, Alaska.. I contract through the federal government and the state... the private cases when you surveil can get interesting.. when you know your city I think it is about anticipating their destination when tailing in your vehicle... I followed an alleged drug dealer not long ago.. it was intense situation.. the other concept I realized is that when following someone on foot or in a bar not to get in your head about them making you.. obviously you should know from your client the subject's awareness of possibly being followed.. but my point was don't overthink that because they made quick eye contact with you that you are made... anyway... I am rambling a little bit.. I have a surveillance gig here tomorrow that I am prepping
More from this guy please, he is great!
damn, as a french Pi i gotta admit you guys have a bit more power when it come to law enforcement. we stay a basic citizen here. good video over all
This is great and so fantastic for screenwriters. Thank you!
Kinda on-topic thing to relate: look up the recording of conversations laws in your country/state/whatever. That way you know if you can record certain conversations if needed for evidence against someone/prove your innocence at some point.
For example: In Canada, it is federal law that you can record any conversation that you are involved in, involved as in participating. Whether it's a phone call, in-person etc... also you must check what consent is needed, some places require all-parties consent IOW everyone needs to consent to being recorded. In Canada you only need one-party consent... sooooo basically you can consent for yourself to be recorded, to yourself, in your mind.
Final result: you are legally allowed to record any of YOUR conversations in Canada w/o telling the other person.
Yep, it's why sometimes you get that "this call is being recorded for quality assurance" when you are talking to a business or organization and sometimes you don't.
12:48 to be more specific when he says multiple turns do 4 four turns in the same direction so four right or four left if they're still behind you there's a good chance they're tailing you. Find a well lit populated place like a Super market or something like that
The problem with Sherlock's deduction is that a lot of people that are left handed train to shoot with their right. Case in point: Dr. John H. Watson.
I'm left-handed in writing but most people's assumptions about which hand I use for different things are wrong.. the only thing they know for sure is I write with my left hand.
Holy moly, he just proved that women are more intuitive than men are at @8:00
My ex was of the 4% who was wrong. Didn't stop her from spreading it around our workplace though. Rip.
Making accusations to your face , or gossiping at work are free , and therefore have low barrier to engage in . For most people spending a couple $ thousands is a big enough commitment to not undertake unless they're already sure .
My wife tried hiring an investigation team , thankfully I was friends with the guy who owned the firm and we came to an agreement of sorts to keep the wife happy.
She spent 3k on it and when I asked her what it's for she said for new clothes.. yea right.
Wait, you had a girlfriend on the Enterprise?
Interesting to hear his honest assessment of the comparisons between PI work and law enforcement actually be a plug for their service. The bureaucracy and red tape surrounding just reporting a stolen [edit] _musical_ instrument to the police can be totally side-stepped by using a more expensive but more committed PI facility. Will keep this in mind. 😁

3:04: "But, if you start assuming too much, you might have fallen into a trap for what they're trying to make themselves be portrayed as."
You might also just fall into a trap of your own prejudices and expectations.
I'm left-handed, but I do a lot of things right-handed, because that was more convenient. My mouse is on the right side of the keyboard, and my alarm clock is on the right side of my desk. I'll eat with fork and knife in either hand, and I'll pick up a pitcher or mug with whichever hand's convenient. I also part my hair from left to right (with my left hand), something that Cracked thinks left-handers never do.
If you're snooping around my apartment trying to figure out whether I'm left- or right- handed, you're better off checking my scissors.
But not the scissors that came with my cooking knife set. Those are right-handed. I use them perfectly well, because there weren't always left-handed scissors available.
So maybe just ask my parents.
WHAT???? Is he REALLY saying that Ace Ventura: Pet Detective ISN'T realistic????
I don't know what to believe anymore...
The Ace Ventura part with him ACTUALLY taking the dog seems more like a a case of opportunity and that the intention was to verify the suspect and the whether the dog could be accessible on return visits.
Magnum wouldn't be driving that Ferrari either, but he has a long-term gig as a security consultant for a wealthy island resident, and he's taking full advantage of the perks.
Still a ridiculous car to use as a tail
...Unless on a road system littered with fancy sports cars. (Actually, iirc, he did most of his tailing from the passenger seat of his buddy's helicopter.)
We really need a serial killer rates horror movies video
I've talked to a private eye before I know for a fact that some of the things that he criticized as something that a private eye wouldn't do because it's illegal wouldn't necessarily be true in some states while being illegal in others ( there are a lot of variables, whether or not something is illegal or not in a particular state is just one of those variables!!!
True but the scene was specific to a location and it was illegal
