Very good point, Sara. I agree with Cohen in that aspect.
I record a lot of my big ticket business transactions for just those reasons. I video recorded my car dealers finance guy explaining where every one of my dollars was going with respect to all the extended warranties when I purchased my car. If a problem arises, the "I never said that" response will be very short lived.
It's mandatory that I record the leasing of my rental properties along with a video recording of the walk-through. When the lease date expires, "That hole was in the wall" or "The scrapes and gouges were in the hardwood floors" will be baseless in a court of law.
One production company literately staple-gun'd their multiple daily itinerary's to my walls. The lease agreement was for 14 days. That's a lot of staple damage.
The final two days of the lease agreement, they didn't film - They used my property as a end of shoot party house. Needless to say, there was a lot of damage / trash left behind after the 14 day lease.
