GPS Used by Divorce Lawyers

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

Private detectives and U.S. divorce lawyers have a useful tool used to catch cheating spouses – it’s the GPS (global position system). The cost of cheaper models of GPS these days is less than $1,000. And one of the big advantages of having one is concealing the device in any hiding place, such as a glove compartment of a car, and then tracking the whereabouts of a spouse.

The good news is that you can do this legally. According to a private investigator, Paul Ciolino, “You can sit outside the house for days and nothing can happen. And it gets expensive when you hire someone out there 14 hours a day for $120 an hour and then nothing happens. However, when the GPS says that the car is going to a certain location at 2pm every Thursday, now, you can take a look.”

Last year, results from a survey of divorce lawyers revealed that 88% of them use electronically-obtained information more often than others. Records of computer use, toll-pass data, and GPS are the most common ones. A divorce lawyer, Enrico Mirabelli, also began to use GPS tracking almost a year ago. He says that GPS is more detailed than electronic toll-pass information.
