Describe the proper procedure for collecting and preserving paint evidence from an automobile suspected of being involved in a hit-and-run incident. Paint that is foreign to the suspect automobile can be observed on the hood

What will be an ideal response?


Answer should include points such as the following:
Scrape the foreign paint as well as all underlying layers of paint off the car's surface using a clean knife or scalpel. The scraping must clearly show the layer structure of the paint.
Obtain a control paint sample from an adjacent, undamaged area of the car. Again, all layers must be included.
Package each paint specimen separately in a proper container. A druggist fold or a vial makes an excellent container.
Label all specimen containers with the evidence collector's name or initials, the date, and the sampling location. All items collected are to be described in the evidence collector's field notes.
