A Private Investigator on How to Catch a Stalker (and Prove It in Court)

When you tell people you think you're being watched, the response is often "you're being paranoid." Sometimes that's true. And sometimes the tingle at the back of your neck is your oldest, most reliable warning system doing its job. Greg Glassock is a private investigator, a former police officer, and the head of a Seattle investigation agency, and he's spent two decades on exactly these cases. He's honest about why the police often can't help until something physical has already happened, and how a controlling ex uses fear, isolation, and technology to keep the upper hand. Then he gets practical about what you can actually do. Greg and Lisa walk through the surprising ways you can be tracked, from your phone's app permissions to gaming consoles, smart speakers, and hidden cameras built into everyday objects, and the password hygiene that shuts most of it down. He explains the color-code system he teaches police and civilians for staying aware without living in fear, why predators read confidence and posture from a block away, and how to run a simple check to see whether you're being followed. And because so much of this ends up in family court, he's clear about the line between gathering evidence and looking like the aggressor, and why a documented pattern beats a single dramatic incident every time. As always: this is strategic education, not legal or safety advice for your specific situation. ✅ WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ✅ Why the police are often reactive, and when a private investigator can help ✅ How abusers use fear, isolation, and control to keep the upper hand ✅ The everyday devices that can track you, from phones to gaming consoles ✅ Password hygiene that shuts down most digital surveillance ✅ The color-code system for staying aware without living in fear ✅ Why confidence and posture make you a "hard target" ✅ How to run a simple check to tell if you're being followed ✅ The line between gathering evidence and looking like the aggressor in court ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 Meet Greg: private investigator and former police officer 1:42 Why the police can't always help, and when to hire a PI 5:09 How abusers instill fear: coercion and isolation 6:48 How technology supercharged stalking 8:29 The devices watching you: phones, consoles, even your fridge 10:58 Locking down your digital life 18:23 "Weird coincidences" and sweeping for hidden cameras 24:48 Trust your instincts: the color-code system 34:07 Soft targets, hard targets, and the armor of confidence 39:20 How to tell if you're being followed 43:23 Using (and misusing) surveillance as evidence in court 46:14 Why documentation wins: "if it isn't documented, it never happened" 53:23 Where to find Greg ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 👉 Feeling unsafe or watched by a high-conflict ex?
