Question
before taking any sample of glass fragments from a crime scene, the scene should be:
○ photographed in detail
○ sprayed with lysol
○ taped off with crime scene tape
○ checked for blood stains
In forensic science, when collecting glass fragments from a crime scene, the first step is to document the scene thoroughly. Photographing the scene (and the glass fragments) in detail is a standard procedure to preserve the evidence's context and appearance before any collection or manipulation. Spraying with Lysol would contaminate the evidence, taping off is more for securing the scene area, and checking for blood stains is not the primary action before sampling glass fragments.
