Organise records for a minor offence
Preserve the official notice, infringement, charge or summons exactly as received. Record the event date, location, what happened, available photographs or video, witnesses and any payments or correspondence. Formal criminal or infringement procedures vary sharply by jurisdiction, so keep the official document and its stated response date prominent.
