Being a firm believer in giving credit where credit is due, I will tell
|
|
you that most of the information here comes out of the Lee Lapin's book
|
|
How To Get Anything on Anybody. A few of my friends and I have used most
|
|
of these methods before in various "Killer" games. Believe me, these are
|
|
the best methods that I have ever seen.
|
|
|
|
A, B, C, Method of Tailing
|
|
|
|
A time proven method of tailing a subject is to use a three man team which
|
|
alters its positions according to a pre-arranged (and pre-practiced)
|
|
system. This method is very, very difficult to detect as the subject is
|
|
never given too long to make any team member. In this system the A man
|
|
follows the subject. B follows dear old A and C parallels either A or B.
|
|
When the parade reaches an intersection, C speeds up and crosses or turns
|
|
ahead of the target. This allows C to keep him in view in case he enters
|
|
a building or turns an unexpected direction. As C turns the corner, A
|
|
slows down, stops to look in a window, or turns into a shop while B speeds
|
|
up to take A's place. After a decent interval A steps out, finds B's back
|
|
and tails him. In order to exchange B (who is now in A's original
|
|
position) at the next corner, B crosses the intersection if the subject
|
|
turns (or vice versa), C walks across the street and takes up a position
|
|
behind the target. C is now in A's spot, B in C's, and A in B's.... Next
|
|
corner A speeds up, passes subject who has turned the corner and pulls a
|
|
quick "U" turn out of the target's sight, walks back and parallels the
|
|
subject (in C position), B (in ex-C position) crosses over and takes the
|
|
position of the behind the target, C drops back and takes the rear ass
|
|
position. This method is a favorite of such notable people as the Drug
|
|
Enforcement Agency and the FBI. The person who occupies the B, or tail ass
|
|
position has the dual function of watching out for the target's buddies
|
|
who may also be tagging along (usually behind, but sometimes parallel) to
|
|
spot a tail. If such a hinderance is spotted, B can often lose him by
|
|
breaking off and taking the target's tail with him, only to ditch it at a
|
|
convenient point.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ditching a Tail
|
|
|
|
This is an art usually picked up from watching detective shows on
|
|
television, or through osmosis.... However, it is a definite art. STOP:
|
|
Turn a corner and pull over, watch who follows. Pull into a large parking
|
|
lot and stop; see who enters. Go down an alley and pull over out of
|
|
sight. (If you do this at night, remember to take your foot off the brake
|
|
pedal. I can't tell you how many people we would have passed if it had
|
|
not been for their brake lights.) Watch for auto AND FOOT tailing at this
|
|
point. If you have someone else in the car pull over and drop them after
|
|
turning a corner, go back later to retrieve and see what was observed.
|
|
Leave your car and see what happens pull over after cresting a hill....
|
|
GO: Speed up and slow down abruptly making it hard for anyone to follow
|
|
smoothly. Drive the wrong way down a one way street, see if anyone has
|
|
the nerve to follow. Run a red light. Drive into a dead end street, turn
|
|
around and see who is passed on the way back out. Pull a quick U turn in
|
|
the middle of a block, speed up and see if other cars do the same.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mechanical Assistance
|
|
|
|
Always have a pair of good binoculars in a tail car. they are useful to
|
|
let you sit back and loose-tail for a change, turn a corner and check out
|
|
who has parked, or to follow a target who makes a light you miss, and they
|
|
will effect a much better view after dark due to their light gathering
|
|
qualities. Another very important piece of equipment is to have all autos
|
|
in your team equipped with communications. CB walkie talkies work great.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Parallel Tailing
|
|
|
|
This system is used when trafic is too light to close-tail and the subject
|
|
is likely to make someone. Generally speaking, you drive parallel to the
|
|
subject, but one block over. During the block one speeds up enough to
|
|
catch a glimpse of the target at the next intersection and then parallels
|
|
him again. It is very hard to make a tail who is using this method, but
|
|
easy to lose him if made. It is very important to know both where the
|
|
street your target is using and where your street goes at all times. If
|
|
you have three cars, you can parallel ABC. It is recommended that there
|
|
be at least two people per car, one can concentrate on spotting, and one
|
|
on driving.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Combination Tailing
|
|
|
|
Another alternative that often works is to tail the target until he turns
|
|
a corner; now the second man in your car gets out, hustles around the
|
|
corner on foot and ascertains where the target is. He then signals the
|
|
tail car when it is safe. It moves around the corner and picks up the
|
|
foot person. Combination tailing helps defeat the most commonly used burn
|
|
method; the target turns the corner and pulls over and waits to see who is
|
|
following. He will rarely suspect someone on foot at this point. If one
|
|
does turn a corner only to find the target sitting there, or getting out
|
|
of the car, one should go past in a normal fasion, turn the next corner
|
|
and try to reestablish tail position, or radio someone else to tail while
|
|
that person parallels for a while.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Progressive Tailing
|
|
|
|
The safest method of either foot or auto tailing is not to tail at all. In
|
|
the progressive system, the tailer, so to speak, watches the target leave
|
|
his residence and observes him until he makes a turn, or goes out of
|
|
sight. At this point one may want to also make the turn and observe which
|
|
direction the target took. The next day the tail places himself further
|
|
along the route, just past the point where the target was lost on the
|
|
previous mission. The procedure is then repeated with the observation
|
|
progressing along each day until the destination is observed. Obviously,
|
|
this method requires a lot of time; however, this disadvantage can be
|
|
overcome with enough man power by placing a series of men along a possible
|
|
route and keeping in tough with radio until the target has been tailed,
|
|
but not tailed, to his ultimate goal.
