What is the first thing the investigator does before handling or moving any impression at a crime scene? Why is this considered merely a backup or precautionary procedure?
What will be an ideal response?
Before any impression is moved or otherwise handled, it must be photographed to show all the observable details of the impression. Photography is considered merely a backup procedure in case the impression is damaged before reaching the crime laboratory. It is preferable for the examiner to receive the actual impression for comparison to the suspect object that made the impression.
