Recent reports revealed how private intelligence operatives used “Big Brother” tactics to spy on salmon farm activists today in Scotland. Hidden cameras, fabricated identities, and unethical surveillance methods were deployed to silence campaigners raising concerns about environmental practices.
While this scandal has rightly raised alarms, it also highlights a critical point: not all private investigation services are the same.

🔎 The Problem With Rogue Surveillance
Surveillance is a powerful tool when used lawfully and ethically. But in the wrong hands, it becomes a weapon.
Activists were monitored without just cause.
Covert tactics crossed legal and moral boundaries.
Reputations of legitimate investigators were damaged.
This misuse has created distrust, painting all investigators with the same brush. At The Lancer Group, we want to set the record straight.
