PI Licensing in trouble

[FoxtArt]

I've seen a lot of licensed professionals that f shit to hell in the state too without recourse. I think the real defense is customer discernment, licensed "professionals" also take people's money without equivalent service all the time. Truth is, some people suck. There's good doctors, attorneys, and there's utter shit ones that will either get you killed or make you wish you were killed. All are licensed. The licensure doesn't separate the wheat.

I know a guy who was a part time pi (still has license when i last talked to him) and he was talking about expensive license fee etc imposed years back.
He does this as a "favor" for his friend and family or his co-workers. He does HOA dispute, some supplemental insurance scam, and etc. He does not do those infidelity/cheating types of domestic stuff.

He barters with small law firms for free legal hours.
He helps HOA stuff (i was about to write this HOA stories on the other thread today about ring camera and neighbor dispute).

He does have lots and lots of toys. One day, he forgot to bring huge lens for his camera. He used spotting scope and a phone camera from about 500m away to record this turd try to sue my insurance company for 100k for bullshit auto accident. Also we found out his turds' boss was same anderson alumni and told this turds' boss about future [possible] workers comp.... ...... (nevermind).

One day, his girlfriend got made taping him working on heavy lifting equipment on his garage. I think that gave him the idea that he was being watched and got a very tiny settlement.

I also introduced PI guy to my friend who had neighbor dispute. His neighbor was kinda well connected MD-turd who falsely abused the HOA rule to made my friend miserable.
Long story short, my friend made this idiot's life miserable back. This guy moved year later.

Going back to the topic. He said something similar. License and insurance is one that gets avg joe away, BUT he also said getting a contract (with companies) and having to afford surveillance toys and knowing how to investigate are difficult. For an example, he is good with real estate law, but he knows nada on securities and investment compliance investigations.

He had to be good, because his fb post photos has him next to fed on missing child, and even have investigated w/"west colorado" city police depts.
Sadly, we do not talk anymore after early 2019.
