Both Jamie and Lindsey share their stories of becoming a PI.

An entertaining segment of the podcast will be Jamie and Lindsey will be talking through the episodes of the new ABC show Stumptown that depicts a Private Investigator named Dex to compare and contrast what is accurate and what is Hollywood shenanigans. You're going to want to watch along and follow along in future episodes.
Discussed in this episode:
- How to legally use a GPS tracker (Jamie shared a story of catching a cheater in a parking lot) when it is legal and when it is not legal to use a GPS tracker.
- Even though you can use the GPS information to confront someone, it may not be enough to hold up in court, unless you also have video surveillance.
- In order to qualify for a PI license, you must have three years of experience in private investigative work (the equivalent of 3,000 hours)
- Process service is when you need to locate and serve court papers.
Lindsey shared stories of creative ways they've served papers, including a story of serving papers to a mother in an Easter basket on baby's first Easter.
