Would you even recognize a GPS tracking device if you found one on your vehicle? Probably not, since some of the newer devices are smaller than a dime and easily masquerade as an auto part.
As a cyber bug sweep expert and professional private investigator, Michael Guadagno & Associates, a nationally recognized cyber bug sweep, counter-espionage, and private investigative agency, feels it’s important to revisit the topic of GPS vehicle tracking devices frequently. With the speed technology today, most industries are reactive in responding to new, and often, daily, threats against our safety and security rather than being proactive. Technology changes so rapidly today, with new equipment available just when you think you have it all figured out. Take cell phones or electronic tablets, for example. It seems like almost weekly there is a new version on the market! It’s no different in the counter-intelligence community, only changes take place even more rapidly.
Most people first become concerned that their vehicles are bugged because others seem to know when and where they’ve been. Some, being proactive, take preventative measures knowing plan to travel to an area or a place which they wish to keep secret, and are concerned about their privacy.
Finding a GPS tracking bug by oneself is like tackling a do-it-yourself project without the tools or knowledge to operate the equipment properly. The best equipment is only as good as the operator.
Even if you happen to locate a GPS tracker on your car, professionals do not recommend dismantling it. If you have a reason to suspect a GPS tracker has been placed on your vehicle by law enforcement, you may be interfering with an ongoing investigation. Seek legal counsel immediately.
If you believe there is no reason a law enforcement agency would place a tracking device on your vehicle, and your car has been tampered with, you should have a professional attempt to locate (and disable) the device.
Get to the root of the problem. You need professional advice about the entire situation, because what you really are seeking is to terminate this electronic form of stalking, rather than just locating and disabling the single device. Michael Guadagno & Associates (MG&A) can provide cyber bug sweeps of your vehicle, home, business or other properties and also offers private investigators services. You need a professional – someone who knows the chain of evidence procedures, and one who can appear as an expert witness to testify on your behalf in court. Michael Guadagno & Associates will ensure that proper documentation is in place to support their findings providing credible evidence for your case.
A final note of caution: trying to find a GPS tracker and coming up empty handed, may create a false sense of security, causing you to let your guard down, thus making it easier for those tracking you to continue this activity. In many cases, we found it was other technology and not necessarily a GPS tracker, used to track a vehicle.
Today’s technology may be intimidating to most lay persons due to their lack of familiarization the subject. For us, it’s our profession. Michael Guadagno & Associates is considered one of the very best.
