Back when I was in school, a few of us were tasked with moving crap from one of the high-up labs to the basement lab where the heavy stuff was located (wave tanks, drill presses, etc.). Students (and teachers) were explicitly told as was policy that they need to take the people elevators or stairs, and *not* the service elevators. Faculty offices were on each floor in a corridor that was right by the people elevators, so why they insisted on taking the long away around to the service elevators baffles me to this day, but they did. We got sick and tired of having them tie up the elevators just to go up/down 1-2 floors, so one of the maintenance guys gave us this wedge-thingy to lightly hammer into the crack between door and frame when the elevator door was open, so we did just that. Rather than try to make multiple trips for each item, we'd just freeze the elevator in place, load it up to the gills, take it down, rewedge the door, then take everything out. And teachers complained! We just referred them back to the policy and recent "refresher" that they were supposed to take the people elevator, and to see the dean if there were any complaints.
That homeowner could have really screwed the HOA company over. How you ask. Simply by going in to pay the fine with good old CASH. They can NOT refuse to take the cash, doing so is an offense. Cash can NOT be denied to pay for any fines under law. The moment they refuse payment, and he has it on record by recording the exchange that takes place, those fines are null and void and he can take them to court for that violation to make it official.
last story: moving people against their will: that is actually kidnapping, at least in the US. people are not aware that the law about kidnapping is that special. you are not to be moved by somebody.
