I’m a lawyer and these tactics (for better or worse) are par for the course. Say the claimant in a civil suit makes a claim that due to their injury they can’t engage in normal daily activities leading to a loss in quality of life, example, I can’t lift up and hold my kids or I can’t take out the garbage. Better believe pictures of those things will pop up at a deposition, if the claimant has in fact done any of the above.
I worked a worker’s compensation claim once, where a contractor claimed that due to a back injury he had basically become immobilized, sure enough he had Facebook posts that included zip lining - and was able to subpoena the waiver he signed declaring he had no injuries - and other posts like “drinking getting fucked up and dancing all night at the club” with pictures. So yeah basically people are doing the job for the insurance companies and lawyers that they used to have to hire and pay PIs to do.
