[nagdu] Advance Notification

[Tami Kinney]

Hm... I see the value in such a strategy. Getting the offender to put 
the offense in writing does save on the he-said-she-said business. Sigh. 
Supposing you can get someone in authority to review the documentary 
evidence instead of refusing to on the basis that since you are the one 
who is blind, the other person did the right thing and is telling the 
truth. Been there, done that a couple of times around here... Now I'm 
trying to figure out how to find someone to actually be interested in 
finding out which side is true by, say, looking at additional 
information. Nope!

Anyway, though, I think having an iPhone -- or other camera phone or 
device -- can be helpful in demonstrating that one party is giving a 
more accurate account of matters than the other. There can be legalities 
in that, I think, but the camera never lies. /smile/

Also, having the manager put the policy in writing while you stand there 
taking up his/her valuable time would be useful in many circumstances, 
as well.

I'll have to remember that one, in fact, in case I need it. I've sort of 
come to the conclusion that in those cases I can't talk or just 
bare-face my way through an access challenge, the thing to do then is to 
make the violation of the law as inconvenient to the violator as 
possible. I don't know if I think this way because I believe it can be 
effective or because I'm just that obnoxious. /grin/

A few others have told stories here and there of using the technique to 
good effect, though... Hm.
