For one, our crime investigators are now using gloves. Even the investigator taking the pictures has gloves on her hand.
Evidence found are properly marked.
Investigators are now wearing gloves and a police line has been set to keep those who may have nothing to do with the investigation away. But does the guy wearing the orange jacket a member of the investigation team? Hopefully he is. And he should better wear his gloves if he intends to touch anything inside the police line. However, if he is a journalist, he should know better than that.
However, no one, and not even an investigator can or should move an evidence, especially when it is a body if and when there is no medical examiner present. A human body can be tampered with easily and can affect the outcome of the case. The two who are turning the body should be wearing gloves at this time.
Perhaps it would be too harsh to expect too much from our public servants. But common sense is always expected as the basis for them to be in public service and that crime investigator should know that a crime scene should be considered a "holy ground."
Maybe a few more CSI episodes can help teach our crime investigators the basics necessary so they can perform a better job.
