What are cell phone records investigations?

 

First, we need to define cell phone records. Cell phone records are lists of all the calls made to and from a particular cell phone. Oftentimes, the cost of the calls is included on these records. Cell phone record investigations are a type of telephone surveillance. These records can be used as part of a larger investigation or can stand on their own as an investigation.

 

The stereotypical private investigators of books, TV and movies don't always show the full spectrum of the work that private investigators do on a day-to-day basis. A real investigator's caseload often includes background investigations, surveillance and skip traces, or searches for missing people. Investigators may also serve legal documents, notifying people of their involvement in legal proceedings. In the United States, this is part of the due process guaranteed in the Fifth and 14th Amendments to the Constitution.
