A significant “jump” occurs when authorized surveillance time is extended from one to two days. This is primarily because the first day of surveillance for an investigator tends to be dedicated to “homework.” This homework is conducted on a wide variety of aspects and details, including, but not limited to, the neighborhood layout/set-up, observing and identifying motor vehicles associated to the subject’s household, or understanding the ‘comings and goings’ of all of the residents of the home, particularly when similarly aged relatives of the same gender occupy the same residence. In the case of a two-day allowance, this normally leaves one full day to be PURELY dedicated to surveillance and the chances of obtaining video on the subject increase drastically. Of course, there is also a clear advantage when time is authorized beyond three days and a failure to obtain video of the subject is highly unusual.
