A pile of envelopes is found on the floor of a crime scene. What would be the best protocol for collecting this evidence?

1. Take photographs as you collect each one, to show the layering of the envelopes.
2. Take pictures just before and just after collecting the envelopes.
3.Stack the envelopes neatly and put them in a large bag.
4. Keep each envelope in an airtight container.

Answer:3.Stack the envelopes neatly and put them in a large bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

An evidence at the scene of crime must be collected with utmost care so as to retain the integrity of the evidence.

A pile of envelope must be collected by collecting the envelopes in a stack form and packing in a large bag so that the sequence of envelopes can be determined. Any kind of bodily fluid must be retained thus it is kept in paper or cloth bag.
