Question 17 • Forensics 1a: Introduction

The CSI bends down and selects their tweezers to collect the hair. How will choosing the correct tool assist with evidence collection?

Answer
A
It ensures an unambiguous chain of custody.
B
It avoids contamination or damage to the evidence.
C
It magnifies the trace evidence to get a closer look.
D
Its measurements start from baseline.

Explanation

Tweezers let the CSI pick up a single hair without handling it directly, reducing the chance of transferring oils, fibers, or other contaminants. Using the right tool also helps prevent bending or otherwise damaging the hair. Thus, choosing tweezers helps avoid contamination or damage to the evidence.
