I would start packing heat right now; permission slip signed or not. 2000+ acres you say? that's a lot of disappeared land.....
ETA: him and a couple friends should have a mostly friendly chat with the guy. I have been drinking btw....  ETA2: might be a PI and your sister is looking to take 1/2 of everything he owns. |

Wild-assed guesses: is your brother in law about to get sued for something? Did he file any disability claims or anything? Workman's comp? Did Monsanto seed blow across the road into his field? Competitors moving in on his turf? Prep for a Mafia hit?

supposedly the sheriff said the plates were in their system as having been turned in.
they posed the idea of a PI and asked if they had any pending lawsuits and they said the only thing they could think of was my BIL's sister was about to sue a local Quarry after one of their trucks T-boned their nephew and the quarries insurance company is getting very shitty over their refusal to hand over the vehicle that was hit. (their lawyer said to take possession ASAP) my sister and BIL are not involved in this lawsuit in any way though. a couple other ideas were that it could be either related to meth cooks (they've found waste on their property in the past) or a local drug task force (a couple years ago a drug task force was watching a dump site on my BIL's land) they also wondered if it could be an intimidation tactic due with the contractors they fired from building their new house (it got nasty) |

Quoted:
My brother in law recently told my sister that he thought a white Impala has been following him around. He says that he has seen it follow him multiple times and it has parked on the edge of the road and watched him while he farms his fields. He says he's seen it all over the place (he farms 2000+ acres and has land all over this half of the county.) Well supposedly many other members of the family have seen this same impala watching him. He was farming one day last week when a friend that helps him run special machinery was present and the car showed up. My BIL and this friend approached the car to confront the man who appeared to be a Hispanic male and they saw that he was photographing them. As they got close he pulled back onto the road and stopped. As my BIL got to the window the man pointed down the road and floored it. While this was happening the friend memorized the plate number. When they called the sheriff they were told that the plates belong to a silver grand prix. A couple days later my sister was home with their 3 small children (1, 2, and 4) and they all had the flu. My sister walked into the living room and noticed a car in front of the house through a crack in the blinds. As soon as she opened the blinds to see a white impala it speed off. She called the cops and was put on hold for 10 minutes, 45 min later a squad car showed up. The cops are brushing it off and saying "it's probably nothing" As of now my sister is putting up cameras and keeping an AR close and my brother in law is carrying a shotgun everywhere he goes. They both plan on getting their carry permits ASAP. They are very nervous about this situation. How to tell if you're being followed: Make 4 turns in a row all in the same direction so that you go in a circle, since there is no reason to do that, anyone who makes the turns with you is probably following you. Cut through a parking lot, same thing, since that is an unlikely coincidence, if someone makes the maneuver with you they are probably following you. Pull a crazy ivan, make a sudden U turn (if safe) and steer directly toward your assumed pursuer, if they U turn too than there is no doubt at all they are following you. If they WERE following you and wish to remain discreet this will also force them to break off their pursuit , it may also disrupt the timing of accomplices following along on parallel streets causing them to lose you. If he is being followed I would say the trade craft of whoever is doing it sucks, which is why it is so obvious, so its probably an amateur, what does that tell you? I don't know, but its a clue, unless of course they WANT to be seen... If he does note a pursuit, he might try driving directly to the nearest police station, very few will follow in to there, and if they do, so much the better. DO NOT go home unless you have to, you do not want to lead whoever it is to your house. If you MUST return home, assuming your not living alone, call ahead and inform them that you are coming in hot and to be prepared, and ready a defense, then be prepared to jump out of the car and go directly in where the door should be waiting to be opened for you and locked immediately behind you. From the description I'm going to guess a PI. Feds and cops, while not above stupidity probably would not be that obvious, and a criminal looking for a score would have either struck, or just moved on by now. That leaves 3 possibilities: A PI (Cheating on the spouse, or file any workman's comp claims lately?) A random psycho who has fixated on your brother in law and his family for some reason (II don't think this is the case). Your brother in law is in to something you don't know about, something that would create (dangerous) enemies, or possibly he owes his bookie. |

Since you said he farms, is it possible that he is being investigated for violation of patented ag tech. Do you know if he is using any companies patented seeds and saving them in violation of the contract?

My question for all you that are saying po po, PI, Gov agency or insurance investigator
Why would they put fake plates on their official vehicle? If it were the cops why would the plates come back registered to a white impala instead of a silver GP why do that on an official police vehicle? Wouldn't the cops just have it registered to a Mr John Doe? I mean if the cops ran the plate and it was the police wouldn't they just come back and say plates check out in our system get tipped off that some GOV agency and was doing surveillance on them. If it was a private PI or insurance investigator why risk putting fake plates on your car that could get you pulled over and charged with false registration and cause you all sorts of legal hassles, that would be an insurance liability why put your business at risk if your business is doing private PI work? That is the only thing that makes me doubt it's official. |

Or he's a ghetto dumbass who let his plates expire and took the good plates off his other car that doesn't run. All sorts of reasons. There are good PI's, but there is also a revolving door of borderline retarded wannabes who watch too much TV, so they think people are blind and stupid. Or they live in the city so they have no concept of how to be inconspicuous in rural/small town settings. Combine the two and you have a perfect storm of incompetence.

First thing I thought of was my brother in law. He said all of the same things, people are following him, stalking him, looking in windows at him. His wife even told him someone put a tracking device on their car. It turns out he was having some mental health issues. I am not saying this is the case here....only that was my experience

If this stalker is parking in the same place when he is watching your sister's and BIL's house, then perhaps some nails should their way to this spot. Follow them when they leave and then have a long conversation with them when tires go flat.

Maybe it's Des Moines Water Works investigating? If they live north of Des Moines and farm along the Des Moines river Water Works wants to sue them for high nitrates in the river. So maybe that's why the guy was taking pictures?
Otherwise I would suggest the next time your bil sees the Impala while in the field to call 3 buddy's to come down the road together and box him in. |

Someone doing property assessments? I've run into both property assessment/real estate comps. They usually bend over backward and hand you a business card so they don't get the popo called on them. They would not be running off and they likely wouldn't make multiple trips to the same property. PI's on the other hand would run off. And most PI's stick out like a sore thumb in the country because they can't blend in. It's pretty hard to run surveillance on a disability insurance case in the middle of flatland farming nowhere without sitting obviously in your car and trespassing in the woods/hedgerows. Does the sister watch said nephew with the Quarry truck related injury? They could very well be trying to establish that he's running around like any normal healthy kid. |
