Safety first
Threats, stalking, violence or immediate danger require appropriate emergency or specialist help. Do not confront another person merely to create evidence.
Build a factual incident log
Record date, time, location, duration, what you personally observed, who was present and any report made.
Keep property and boundary documents
Preserve relevant plans, surveys, strata or association rules, approvals and notices without assuming an informal map establishes a legal boundary.
Preserve communications and authority records
Keep messages, letters, complaint references, inspections and third-party reports in sequence.
Important limitation
GetInstantProof does not establish a boundary, prove nuisance or harassment, or decide which party is legally responsible.
