Question

A specific plan for collecting evidence is not important so long as the forensic scientist collects all of the evidence in the crime scene area.True / False.

Answer 1

Answer: False

Explanation: There must be a specific plan for collecting all the evidence in a crime scene. This starts from documenting the crime scene while taking note of the location of each of the piece of evidence. The CSI then collects the delicate and easily overlooked evidence first before moving on to the bigger pieces of evidence which have to be transported. If any of these evidence was previously prevented from sight by another piece of evidence, photographs should be taken to show their initial location.
