Nashville gets wild.
Sometimes the question starts when someone heads to Nashville. A bachelor weekend. A bachelorette trip. Someone you met on Broadway. Whatever it is, you don't have to guess.

Surveillance & private investigation.
Need something more hands-on? Surveillance means watching and documenting what happens from a lawful place. When online research isn't enough, we do the legwork.
Surveillance
Lawful observation and documentation where permitted.
Locating people
Locating people for lawful purposes using permitted investigative methods.
Investigative observation
Documenting what is happening at a location or event where legally permitted.
Relationship investigations
In-person investigative services when online research isn't enough.
Other PI services
If we can lawfully help, we'll explain exactly how.
In-person services are performed only where legally permitted and by appropriately licensed investigators. We never place hidden trackers, access phones or accounts, trespass, or record private conversations. Laws vary by state.
Lawful research. Clear lines.
We only use legal methods. Here is what we use, and what we never do. Results depend on what's available, and no one can promise a specific result.
Publicly available
Things anyone can legally see: public profiles and posts, websites, news and public records like court filings.
With authorization
Things shared with permission, or that you're allowed to give us, like messages they sent you.
Authorized resources
Professional tools, used only where the law allows and for an allowed reason.
What we can't obtain
Private messages, passwords, deleted texts, private accounts, phone or bank records, and hidden tracking. We don't, and no real investigator will.
Three steps. Zero guesswork.
Simple and private. You get a clear plan and price before anything starts.

General
What does BAE Watch investigate?
Two kinds of things. Online investigations: dating app investigations, social media research, background and identity checks and relationship and infidelity investigations. And hands-on work, like surveillance, where the law allows.
Do I have to confront the person?
No. You can get the facts first. Then you decide what to do, on your own time.
Do I need proof before I contact you?
No. Most people start with a feeling. That's enough. Tell us what's going on and we'll help you find the right place to start.
How do I know which service I need?
You don't have to know. Pick what sounds like you under What brings you here?, or just tell us what's happening.
Can I hire a private investigator for someone visiting Nashville?
Yes. You don't have to live here. Tell us about the trip and we'll explain what we can legally do. See Nashville investigations.
Do you work outside Nashville?
Online research works from anywhere. In-person work outside Tennessee depends on that state's rules. We'll tell you up front.
Online
Can a private investigator find a dating profile?
Sometimes. If a profile can be found legally, we can often find it. Results depend on what is public, so no one can honestly promise it.
Can a private investigator find out if someone is on Tinder?
We can look for profiles on apps like Tinder, Bumble or Hinge when they can be found legally. Many apps limit what is public. We never log in to anyone's account or make fake profiles.
Can a private investigator look at social media?
Yes, if it's public. We can review public profiles, posts, photos and usernames. Private accounts stay private.
Can a private investigator access private messages?
No. Reading someone's private messages without permission is illegal. No real investigator will offer it.
Can you find deleted messages or texts?
No. That would mean getting into their phone or accounts, which we don't do.
Can you get someone's passwords or into their phone?
No. Getting into someone's phone or accounts without permission is illegal. If anyone offers it, treat it as a red flag.
Can you track someone's phone or car?
No. In Tennessee, putting a tracker on someone's car without the owners' consent is a crime. We don't track phones or cars.
Hands-on PI
Can a private investigator find out if my spouse is cheating?
A private investigator can't read minds or phones. We can lawfully research and document what happens, so you have facts instead of guesses. Results vary by case. See infidelity investigations.
What is surveillance?
Surveillance means watching and documenting what happens from a lawful location. It shows facts that online research can't.
How does a private investigator investigate someone?
Usually two ways. We look at information that can legally be found online and in public records. Where the law allows, we also watch and document what happens in public places.
Can you help with a bachelor or bachelorette trip?
Often, yes. That can mean public online research or, where permitted, discreet observation in public places. We never get into phones or messages, and we never record private conversations.
Can you give me photos or video?
When it's legal, surveillance can include photos or video taken from public places.
Can you locate someone?
For lawful reasons, often yes. We screen every request and say no if someone could be put at risk.
What will I get at the end?
A clear written report. It says what we found, how we found it, and what we couldn't confirm.
Privacy
Will the person know I hired an investigator?
We never tell them, and we work quietly. No method is risk-free, and we'll talk through any risk with you first.
Is my consultation private?
Yes. What you tell us stays between you and BAE Watch. Our form is sent over a secure, encrypted connection.
Who sees my information?
Only the people working on your case. We never share it with the person you're asking about.
What happens to my information afterward?
It stays private. Ask us how long we keep case files and how to have yours deleted.
Pricing
How much does a private investigator cost in Nashville?
It depends on the type of case and the time it takes. Most work is billed by the hour, with a retainer up front. You get a clear quote before any work begins. See what changes the price.
Is the consultation free?
Yes. Your first talk is free, private and has no obligation.
How long does a private investigation take?
It depends. Simple online research is often quicker. Surveillance depends on schedules. You get a timeline before we start.
Is there a minimum?
Some services have one. Surveillance is usually booked in blocks of time. Any minimum is in your quote before you decide.
Legal
Is it legal to hire a private investigator?
Yes. Hiring a licensed private investigator is legal. What they can do is limited by law, and we stay inside those limits. More on what's legal.
What can you legally find?
Information that is public, information shared with permission, and professional tools where the law allows. Results depend on what's available.
What can't you get?
Private messages, passwords, deleted texts, private accounts, and phone, bank or medical records. Nothing that needs hacking, lying or hidden tracking.
Are private investigators licensed in Tennessee?
Yes. Tennessee licenses private investigators and investigation companies through the Department of Commerce and Insurance. Always ask an investigator for their license details, including us.
