The former partner of a private eye agency has been slapped with a $24,000 fine for conducting unlawful surveillance on a police officer at both his residence and place of work. The case represents the latest in a series of penalties related to the same investigation agency's conduct. On July 14, the firm itself was fined $20,000, while its managing director received a separate fine of $25,000 for their respective roles in the surveillance operation. The penalties underscore regulatory authorities' commitment to preventing misuse of private investigation services and protecting individuals from unauthorised monitoring. Private investigators in Singapore are subject to strict licensing requirements and operational guidelines, with violations carrying significant financial and legal consequences. The case serves as a reminder of the legal boundaries governing surveillance activities and the enforcement mechanisms in place to ensure compliance.
