How can I protect against being followed?

Will Geddes (Close Protection Officer) gives expert video advice on: What's the difference between a close protection officer and a bodyguard?; Do I have the right to kill someone?; Am I bound by criminal law if I hurt someone? and more...

One of the first bits of advice I would always suggest to people if they feel that they could be under surveillance, and I'm not just talking cheating wives and husbands, but individuals that could be at greater risk from a potential ambush or a possible attack will be to randomize their actions and movements. By human nature, we will be terribly predictible. We will fall into routines and patterns of behavior. In the same way as when we leave the house during the working week, on average five to ten minutes at the same time every morning, we'll follow the same path to the tube station, or the bus stop, and then when we get to the tube station we'll stand at the same spot on the platform every single morning. We can fall into these routines, which an individual may pick up on, whether it be a mugger, a stalker, a rapist, or something even more serious. And therefore, we need to randomize that: not drink in the same pub that we always do, not eat in the same restaurant that we always eat in, and make sure that we are far, and less easy to determine.
