The Pretext Controversy

What is pretexting anyway? Much maligned and extensively misunderstood, pretexting has a negative connotation to those outside the borders of both private investigation and law enforcement. Nevertheless, pretexting is a useful, practical, and valued investigative tool. Imagine a private investigator telling their true identity to a fraudster or a non-custodial parental abductor. Visualize a private investigator wearing their identity on either their jacket or their vehicle when investigating the manufacture or sale of counterfeit products or conducting an undercover operation.
