Surveillance 101

Surveillance request are on the rise and having done some surviellance work I can say that the trick is blending in.  I recently had to do a surveillance job in a tight knit community with narrow streets and kids with their parents out in the front yard playing amongst many of the homes on the block.  After doing a drive thru I realized the big black suburan I was in stood out and had to abort.

The key is to look so ordinary that no one even knows you are there.  Any little thing that stands out whether it is clothing, hair style, automobile etc that can draw some glance that would be memorable by a passer by or the target is troublesome.
