During an undercover investigation, do PIs have to carry or show their licence?

  1. True

  2. False

The correct answer is: False

Many may assume that since private investigators have a license, they must carry or show it at all times. However, this is not the case. Private investigators are not required to carry or show their license during an undercover investigation because it could compromise their cover or put them in potentially dangerous situations. Instead, they can carry a copy of their license with them for verification purposes if needed. Therefore, option B is the correct answer. Option A, while it may seem logical, is incorrect because it does not take into account the nature of undercover investigations.
