Who among the following is NOT exempt from the LPI license requirement?

Accident reconstructionists
Employees of attorney firms
Independent digital forensics consultants
A private investigator with an active license

The correct answer is: A private investigator with an active license

The reason that a private investigator with an active license is not exempt from the LPI (Licensed Private Investigator) license requirement is that they are the very individuals this regulation seeks to govern. Active licensed private investigators are required to operate under the parameters set by the law, which includes maintaining their licensing through continuous adherence to training and regulatory standards. In contrast, other roles such as accident reconstructionists, employees of attorney firms, and independent digital forensics consultants may have specific provisions that allow them to carry out their work without needing an LPI license. These professions may involve activities that don't directly align with the responsibilities and expectations of a licensed private investigator, enabling those who perform them to operate under different regulatory garments depending on the nature of their work. Therefore, the active private investigator is consistently required to meet all licensing criteria, reinforcing their role as a regulated entity within the investigative field.
