Can anyone help me out on the subject of tailing? I have a 20% successful tailing rate (i.e. I can tail 2 out every 10 attempts to a location) and it's driving me nuts. I am wasting tons of time and and missing out on good video.

I am not an expert, but I like to keep at least one car between me and the tail. Do not take your eyes off the tail for a second or you could miss them switching lanes or turning, etc. Some days you can follow all day long, and some you can't.

What do you think the reason is? Give me an example of what happens.

I lose Claimants or Subjects a time or two as well, but I gauge the risk of being spotted. Do I follow close or give them a few 'cusion' vehicles. I ask myself "why is this person being followed?" Are they more inclined to THINK they are being followed, so as I give them ALOT of space. Sometimes I even set up on a place and have NO intention of following them(eating alot of un-billable time, but gain alot of information). It all depends...

do you lose them because of red lights?...that's a WHOLE different animal.
