Directives (protocols: it is the policy of the service to provide technical support to aid members in the collection, preservation, analysis and presentation of physical evidence ~prp directive 1-b-402 (f), 2014. Photographs useless unless there"s context: rule of thumb: a minimum of three angles. Address, name of location, landmarks, entrance, street names, etc. With and without placard: take without placard first because having the placard introduces an avenue for defense to accuse, doubt is a big thing in court. Bring evidence to lab for analysis quality: even closer up, get into the analysis of evidence. Photography fundamentals: set to capture true perspective. Possibility of distortion: photographs taken before and after alteration. Placards, fingerprint development, etc: never delete photos. Cameras are able to record the time and date of when a photo was taken. Logs track the number of total photos that have been taken.
