P.I. for a divorce lawyer?

Amazon keeps trying to sell me both spy cameras and spy camera detectors. I finally gave in and got one of the IR detector ones that does two things, flashes LEDs that will supposedly retro-reflect off of the camera sensor or some such - that was a total bust and couldn’t locate any camera I own (I don’t have any spy cameras, but no special reflection off of my cell phone camera or my Wyze security camera that I could notice). The thing also has an IR sensor, which did work when I shined a remote control near it. But not all spy cameras have IR emitters, so that is not a reliable detection method, nor do they all have WiFi. Some are passive and record to cards, making the Amazon spy camera detectors largely snake oil.

maybe it’s supposed to introduce an arms race of cameras so that by recording other people, ultimately, you yourself are guaranteed to be recorded.
a kind of advertising that attempts to be eventually true

It’s a shoddy work for a three-letter-agency, so I think a P.I. could be a possibility.

Did she ever criticize the Cthurch of Scientology?
Their Operating Thetans can remote view, but their PIs always use cheap spy cameras, go figure!

A gentleman on a scooter?
That’s no gentleman; that’s your stalker.

Gentleman is generally used in an ironic sense here. “A gentleman from Florida died trying to rob a taco store from the inside of an airtight safe” type thing.

In most neighborhoods these days, people come and go via the garage in the back, not the front door.
Was there some specific issue on the street itself, maybe? Doesn’t look like good enough resolution to see inside the house.

CSB time: I set up a Blink camera out front to record what kind of birds were visiting, but after a week it was mostly the family across the street coming and going. It felt wrong, and I don’t really want to know anyone else’s business so I took it down. Now the birb feeder is next to my office window and I can watch the burbs being merry.
