Subject: ADA Title II grievance and notice of spoliation
Statement of facts:
On or about March 1, 2026, at approximately 3:00 pm, I visited the Indianapolis-East bmv branch, number 0063, to renew my driver’s license. Since an auto accident in 2015 i have signed my name with an x. This has been my consistent legal signature for over a decade and has always been accepted by the Indiana bmv and other agencies until this date.
The branch manager refused to accept my signature, denying a reasonable modification required under title ii of the ada. I was in the process of requesting an ada accommodation when i was attacked. Specifically, when i requested a formal appeal form and access to public records to document this refusal, staff claimed no such forms existed. Instead of providing the required due process, the manager summoned a security guard who physically assaulted me to force my removal. Three impd officers arrived and subsequently refused to take a battery report, despite my request.
Notice of spoliation:
I am formally notifying the city of Indianapolis and the office of corporation counsel that relevant paperwork, including my ada request and branch incident logs, has been destroyed or withheld. I demand the immediate preservation of:
  1. Lobby and exterior surveillance footage from branch 0063 for the window of 2:30 pm to 4:00 pm on March 1, 2026.
  2. The use of force report and incident logs filed by the security guard and manager.
  3. All impd body-worn camera footage from the three responding officers.
Requested resolution:
I request an investigation into this unlawful retaliation, formal recognition of my x signature as a valid accommodation, and an immediate material error review of my license denial.
Respectfully,
[Your Name]

Do you have the specific email addresses for the bcc recipients ready to go, or should I list them one last time for your records?
