A thumbprint and signature in a journal will accomplish the same thing and I think would be much more difficult to misuse. Seems to me that that's the whole purpose of a journal - to record enough information to prove what took place. The personal contents of another person's document should be none of our business, so I totally agree with you, Bob. However, I don't like the idea of someone keeping a file full of copies of DLs, either. If a particular document ends up in court, a comparison between the signature in the journal and what is on the DL could then be done. (I also on take copies if requested to do so.
Just because it's at a bank wouldn't give me much more comfort with those types of copies being kept. I would feel like that was a flagrant invasion of privacy. |
