I’m not sure why this is news except that there had been no regulations before over there. In the US, all states control private investigation licenses, which are required for commercial work. Haven’t you ever read a mystery novel where Marlowe or Spade or Wolfe or whoever is threatened by the police with loss of license? You typically need time in the police, as a MP, or experience as an employee of another licensed PI before you an get a license for yourself, but of course the rules vary by state.
