Every part of me wanted to drive to Frank’s house and demand to see whatever cameras he possessed.

But an angry confrontation could make evidence harder to obtain.

It could also turn the dispute into a story about my behavior.

Daniel helped me prepare a formal preservation request for the appropriate authorities and potential recording sources.

We also documented the known locations and relevant time window.

The police received the incident information for review.

I understood that requesting records didn’t mean every recording would exist or that I would automatically receive it.

But at least there would be a record of the request.
