I want to investigate if a suspicious looking car/driver thats making me nervous is really as dangerous as they look. Nothing like stalking...I'm elderly and have reason to be leary of potential problems and this one smells funny.

All I can think of is hiring a private detective to do some digging. Afaik that is legal but I don’t know what it might cost.

Call the police. That is all.

[Dutch Boy]

A private investigator could do it. I had a neighbor that was a PI many years ago. He would be hired to investigate a lot of things.

www.publicdata.com but you have to pay for it. It’s not expensive.

Put a questionnaire on his windshield.

[JohnBrowdie]

call the cops.

[Salvavida]

Former PI. You can’t do it. Only law enforcement can, which is why community policing is important: you’d have the phone number of the officer assigned to your area.

So contact the police and have a report filed, then ask for an officer to visit you.

As an amendment to my last comment, publicdata works the best in Texas, in other states, not so much.

When I used to work at a 911 dispatch center we could get that type of info, but we were not allowed to pass it on. That was a long time ago. These days there are all sorts of commercial sites selling this type of info. Here the first links that comes up on a DuckDuckGo.com search:

Just do what "Jim Rockford" or "Barnaby Jones" did all the time: Call up your "friend on the Force" and ask him!

Talk to your local sheriff. Cannot hurt to have official recognition.

Alright, all you knuckleheads - did most of you even bother to look at the image he linked to? I didn’t think so.

[Faith65]

bkmk re license plate info

[Trump.Deplorable]

Call the police

Give them the plate number

tell them what they were doing

they keep records if the plate has been reported before for similar incidences, if they are frequent fliers with the PD, they will get a visit

[mountainlion]

See if you can get pictures of car, license plate and occupants. The is easier than writing it down. A date stamp on the picture would be good but I did not know how to set it but the Sheriff took the pictures anyway.

[philman_36]

Contain your concern until you see a long, sharpened spike sticking out of the trunk.
When you see that you need to contact law enforcement.

BTW, is your family tree of Turkish descent?

[Wilhelm Tell]

Talk to your local law enforcement. They have access to data the public does not have access to. The police would then be aware you saw something. They might patrol your area more often. For all you know, this person might be committing crimes and your report might give the police an important piece of the puzzle to figure out what is going on.

Hahaha! Good one!
