Quote: Sen. Debra Bowen had proposed a tough piece of legislation in California. Bill SB1666, would have barred private investigators and anyone else from making “false, fictitious or fraudulent” statements or representations to obtain private information about an individual. This would have included telephone records, Social Security numbers and financial information. Victims would have had the right to sue for damages.
Why not?????

If passed this bill would have restricted PI's, process servers, bail agents, recovery agents,etc. As with any law if it is not totally specific in its wording, it can be interpeted to cover areas that it was never intended to. It could have even effected out of state recovery agents calling into CA to get information on a skip. If you used pretexting then you would have been in violation of the law.
"The only people that voiced any objection were the ‘Dog Chapman’ types, Private investigators and Bounty Hunters. The Dog Chapman’s of the world use Pretexting as a major tool in their bag of tricks to track people down."
This quote displays the ignorance and negative image there is about recovery agents.
The CA PI's rightfully fought hard against this bill and no matter what the blog stated, it was their lobbying more than the money by the MPPA that got this bill defeated.
