Actual Spying



Actual Spying


Being a spy isn't usually running around with a gun and shooting people that's in the movies, real spy's though are about intelligence gathering. Getting inside an organization (sometimes just a building) being undetected or not noticed. In the middle ages spy's usually pretended as beggars or plague victims, nobody cares about them nor give them attention its the perfect cover.

Nowadays with technology spy's suit up as delivery guys so they can enter buildings passing security. Spy's are trained to get information without asking it directly or entering a building without arousing suspension

Training- When I was in spy school this was one of the basic that we had to do. Go to a random coffee shop, then our handler (we call our instructor "handler") would point at a random person.

Our objective would be get the following information and store them without them being on guard or suspicious. We were given a certain time frame 30mnts.

The info we had to get was. There birthday, address, children or spouses names, bank name, company name, age...

If your going to this exercise you must build rapport first you can't ask direct questions like. What's your birthday? (Nothing really come good out of that believe me)

These are tasks you'd have to accomplish for you develop the essentials skills your gonna need on the field.

Vehicles



Vehicles

Remember that in any kind of vehicle there are 3 weakness driver, wheel, engine..

I really don't know where to start with this topic since it is quite broad.
I'm just gonna give some pointers on what to do on situations and terminology.

Evasive Driving- If you are getting shot at it is best to use this technique, You do it by doing a zig-zag driving ( you have to turn of the GPS off of you car first as it prevents you from doing this)the idea is NOT GO ON A STRAIGHT LINE so you would be a harder target. Ever watch National Geographic? Its actually natures idea hares and dears do it to get away from predator during a chase.

Keep Driving- There is a "3" rule in this game if you spot a suspect 3 times that's a positive. If you are being followed and your not a pro best thing to do is keep driving. Don't mind that crazy car keep driving forward, the worst thing you can do is stop and get out of your vehicle.

Turn 180- If ever your way has been blocked by assailants, you should turn your car around 180 degrees and hit the gas as fast as you could.

Its not how fast- if your on a chase the WORST thing you can do is drive as fast as you could in hopes of losing your chaser, the idea is to do something with your car that your follower can't. For example if you have an off road car and your being followed by a sports car. The best thing to do is.... well go off road. But sometimes that's not the case if you have the same vehicle capabilities your best bet is to drive around crazy, That's right!? drive around around like a crazy person until your follower makes a mistake. Now this is hard since you need very good driving skills.

Chased by Police- Now I'm not saying go and break the law. But If in case you decide to do so.. please don't do it like the folks you see on TV. What you do is get in inside a covered area as fast as you could (ex,covered parking lot or a park with lots of trees) you have approximately 7 minuets (give or take) until that police back up arrives, Until that time you have a very good chance of getting away but that time is slim.

But if ever you are not able to get away and chopper arrives. Please go to that covered area where the chopper can't see you. Its your only chance and when you do. Take of your shirt and replace with a different color.

Tackling- This is a basic use the body of your car to maneuver off course your target. Your target in doing this is the front wheels where the string happens. Its basic police do this all the time.
