1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: How many times has this happened to you? It's the

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Jewel Show. You line up a first date with someone

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: that you think is super cool. They have all the

4
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: cool stuff that you like on a person, cool hair,

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: cool smile, the coolest elbows you've ever seen who, So,

6
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: in preparation for your first date, you do all the

7
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: normal things. You hire an excia agent, do a little

8
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: background check on them, fly to their hometown and interview

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: their parents, show up at their job and ask to

10
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: view their last performance review. And then bam, all of

11
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: a sudden, they think you're coming on a little too strong,

12
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: and once again, someone you thought might be super cool

13
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: doesn't appreciate all the hard work you put into the

14
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: relationship and they cancel the first date. Well, one woman

15
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,199
Speaker 1: is actually in a legal battle with her former employer

16
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: and it's all because of a first date that she

17
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: went on. What why is she suing her old job

18
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: because of her dating life? You'll find out right after this.

19
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 1: Have you ever done a little innocent cyberstalking before a

20
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: first date? It's the Jewels Show. If you said yes,

21
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: then congrats, you're like everybody else. But one woman decided

22
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: to go the extra mile and now she's making national

23
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: news because of it. Her name is Sarah Thompson. She's

24
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: a twenty nine year old fraud investigator for a major

25
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: insurance company, and she's suing her former employee for wrongful

26
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 1: termination after she was caught using corporate systems to dig

27
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: into a man that she was scheduled to have a

28
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: first date with. Oh According to internal records, Thompson access

29
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: confidential insurance files, pulled his driving history, even opened up

30
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,559
Speaker 1: a fake fraud case so she could legally justify pulling

31
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 1: surveillance footage nearby his home.

32
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: Oh okay, now you crossed the line, Sarah. Now I

33
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 2: don't agree with this.

34
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 1: She filed a false injury claim to gain access to

35
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: his medical history.

36
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 3: This is all before first date. She's just checking up

37
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 3: on the guy.

38
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 2: Oh, somebody must have burned Sarah in the past.

39
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: She actually dispatched to company drone for an aerial sweep

40
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: of his backyard to quote, see if he owns a trampoline.

41
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 3: I don't know what means. Maybe he told her he had.

42
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: A trampoline and she wanted to fact check it, you know,

43
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 1: make sure he's not lying for this first date.

44
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: I have no idea like trampoline jumpers are just like

45
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 2: red flags. I'm not adrenaline rush.

46
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: She ran a credit check through three partner databases. Wow wow,

47
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: I guess that flagged at twelve dollars and forty seven

48
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: cents in overt library fine. She ordered a satellite imaging

49
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: request to monitor how often he mowed his lass.

50
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.

51
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: She used company GPS tracking software to trace every copy

52
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: shop that he had visited in the last ninety days.

53
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 3: How long did it take her to do all of this? Like,

54
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 3: was this like over a week span? Does it say?

55
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: It doesn't say, but it was leading up to a

56
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: first date. She's doing a little innocent background check on

57
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: the guy a little bit. Get that info, girl.

58
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 3: That's way too much.

59
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: Her employer claims the stunt wasn't just a violation of policy,

60
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: it also costs a company dearly. A spokesperson said the

61
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: misuse of resources in this case total one hundred and

62
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: forty eight thousand dollars. Yeah, I mean dispatching a drone

63
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: to do a sweep of the guy's house.

64
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 3: I mean she must be really good at her job. Yeah,

65
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 3: for real.

66
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 1: Thompson, the woman who's suing her company for wrongful termination

67
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: because she was just doing a little litocent, you know,

68
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 1: checking up on her date before she had a first

69
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: date with the guy. Said, one hundred and forty eight

70
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 1: thousand dollars is basically what people pay for a wedding

71
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: these days, and you can't put a price tag on love. Besides,

72
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: how else was I supposed to know if he's the

73
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: kind of guy who leaves his Christmas lights up in March? There?

74
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: You should have done that by just looking on them

75
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: like yellow pages or white pages and did a drive by.

76
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: You did not have to send fifty thousand dollars.

77
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: Said that she doesn't consider it stalking. She thought it

78
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: was a pre date audit is how she's saying it,

79
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: but still used company resources to do.

80
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: It efficient audit it You ask me she could use

81
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: that for her resume when she goes to get the

82
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: next job.

83
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: She's insisting that she did nothing wrong, and now she's

84
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: suing the company, and to make matters worse, the first

85
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: date canceled on her.

86
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 3: Never had the date. You probably play on that trampoline

87
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 3: because he read the lawsuits. You know, what are these

88
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 3: droves doing about my house?

89
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: And how do you decide how much pre first date

90
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: cyber stalking to do you do none.

91
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 3: That's not true, Nina.

92
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 2: You have to protect yourself and you go to the

93
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: are we dating the same guy to see if he

94
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: flags pretty quickly and just a little bit of a

95
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: brief overview.

96
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 3: This lady thought she did just a little bit of.

97
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 2: A brief overview. Also like this is absolutely too far.

98
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 2: But if you're a little bit naive not to do

99
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 2: any at all. Are they really not married like they

100
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 2: say they're not?

101
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: Like relationship have weighed in and they said that you

102
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 1: should focus on sensible cyber stalking for a first date,

103
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 1: not dispatching drones to their house and getting a satellite

104
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 1: footage of every coffee shop that they've been doing in the.

105
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 3: Last ninety days. That's at they say.

106
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: It's normal to be curious about your date, So start

107
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: with verifying what you already know about them. Confirm where

108
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 1: they work, LinkedIn by checking out their LinkedIn, look at

109
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: their Instagram, but don't run a background check or come

110
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: through their social media profiles to the point that you

111
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: get no sleep.

112
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: Not even that.

113
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 4: But if you show up to the date and you

114
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 4: know more about him or her, whoever it is, than

115
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 4: they told you to talk about and I know you

116
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 4: also stalked them, but then you.

117
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 2: Know what they like what there's a certain amount of

118
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: stalking you can do. To act like you don't is

119
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 2: the quickest way to get yourself chopped into little pieces.

120
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 3: There is a line.

121
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 4: But if you know way too much, like more than

122
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 4: they've told you, like oh my gosh, like and your

123
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 4: dog Sparky back when you're five, he's like.

124
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: Excuse me, I was your mom's birthday party. Yeah, I

125
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,239
Speaker 1: got her a gift. Okay, now we've crossed the line.
