If some of the largest companies already employ tech with PI licenses, I suspect they lobbied for the law to force the little guy out. In Arizona you must have 3 years of investigative experience to become an agency and must have a sponsor to become a PI. So that leaves ex-police officers, insurance investigators, or those who have been sponsored by a PI. A work around in Arizona would be to hire someone who qualifies to become a PI agency who could then sponsor all the techies in obtaining a PI license. Or so that is how I think it works. ------------------------ Keith Smith (520) 207-9877 PHP Programmer --- On Fri, 7/4/08, Joshua Zeidner wrote: From: Joshua Zeidner Subject: OT: New Law In Texas Requires PI License for Computer Techs To: "Main PLUG discussion list" Date: Friday, July 4, 2008, 10:32 AM Not sure if this kind of law will find its way to AZ, but its a very interesting development. The only reason why I can imagine they would put this into effect is for the government to have more control over the services marketplace. http://www.gearlog.com/2008/06/new_texas_law_requires_pi_lice.php -- - http://www.joshuazeidner.com/ --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
