No one enters the room without full-body suits. Apart from different light sources (UV etc), Luminol is used to make blood visible even after the perpetrator has tried to wash it away. Other people than forensic officers may be involved too. It can reach from biologists to an entomologist (the study of insects and their behavior). If the victim is mutilated or has been decaying they will also try to recreate the victim's face and/or skull. Drones may be used to video/photograph the crime scene if it's in the open. With current DNA tests etc the perfect crime seems hard to get away with....fortunately. God bless the forensic technicians for taking that dirty job and bringing criminals to justice.
It's actually easier than you think to cover yourself to prevent "DNA droppage." Covering yourself with Vaseline, petroleum jelly, and then a plastic overlay while lets say you were to commit a murder-- you would stab under the trachea directly from the front of the throat using a preferably sharp tool. This tool can then be burned, melted and/ or cut into enough pieces which can then be scattered in order to make it impossible for the police and investigators to find the murder weapon. What's even better, do it on someone you've never met, you've never known, with no intention or any kind of benefit from murder and the chances of getting caught are 0.001%.
You don't go on a crime scene with open hair and those cowboy caps, wear a full forensic suit you guys, plus always change gloves on touching each item of evidence
I agree with IKR. It is also very informative for those interested in the field. My first academic major was law enforcement and as I was watching the video, I flashbacked to my classes.
Okay, so basically the officals search the crime scene by putting markers around the body, get DNA, use a blue light source to find stuff on the victim that can't be seen with the naked eye, they make scetches of who they think committed the crime depending on who's telling what to draw, they take pictures to show evidence of the crime taking place, they talk to people to get a better idea of who committed the crime based on what they say, in general they look into the crime scene. This sounds very intresting, who knew the law was really in-depth in their research.
How to contaminate a crime scene 101 . Aside from that , I admire she is a lieutenant . They keep saying "we" , but I believe they are referring to the "technicians" .
Where is your PPE (personal protective equipment)? “Bunny suit” and “shoe covers”? ... not a great example .. remember “LOCARTS PRINCIPLE” = EVERY CONTACT LEAVES A TRACE.. that’s the same for INVESTIGATORS/DETECTIVES/ANYONE AT THE CRIME SCENE. ... no wonder so many cases in America get messed up..
Emily attempting to commit suicide. Jumped out from the window of a 4 storey building and fell on bystander who was killed. Is Emily liable for the death of bystander? Why?
