What to Do After You Send
📅
Document Your Send Date
Keep copies of every letter and note the date and method (email, fax, certified mail). This creates a legal record of your preservation demand.
⚖️
Spoliation of Evidence
Once a party receives a written preservation demand, destroying footage can constitute spoliation — a serious legal violation courts may sanction heavily.
📞
Follow Up by Phone
Call within 24 hours to confirm receipt. Ask for a case or ticket number and the name of the person you spoke with.
