Investigative & Security Professionals for Legislative Action (ISPLA)
May 31, 2009 by ISPLA · 4 Comments
Investigative and Security Professionals:
Never before has the security and investigative industries faced so many legal threats to their ability to do business. It is expected that the 111th Congress, supported by privacy advocates and consumer and labor organizations, is set to introduce legislation that will curtail access to database information and call for the redaction of Social Security numbers and dates of birth on public records.
The American Bar Association has proposed Resolution 301 in response to state licensing of computer and digital forensic investigators. Choice Point has been acquired by Lexis-Nexis, leading to potential anti-competitive consequences. There is a proposed Model Private Investigator Act for consideration before the American Legislative Exchange Council and there are several studies by ASIS International relative to security issues and best practices.
Now for the good news… Read more

Tracers Information Specialists (TracersInfo.com) Raises Rates
March 2, 2009 by Scott Harrell · 1 Comment
I received the following notice today from Tracers Info president regarding rate hikes on their database and information broker services. Unfortunately, they are raising their “membership fee” 50%, which will certainly be a deal breaker with some of their current clients and will not be a good deal for lower volume private investigation agencies and skip tracers; their membership fee is in addition to the information searches and data clients already buy, unlike other service providers who will apply their monthly fee to monthly minimum database purchases instead.
