Best advice is wear gloves and handle the item as if you didn't have gloves on ie carefully. Besides which you don't know if the item may be require for DNA testing which your sweaty palms could be contaminating.<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps, I'll be doing a good moan one of the days of common misconceptions of CSI work.

When i joined not so many years ago, i distinctly remember being taught not to wear gloves when handling evidence as its far better to leave my paw prints in a discrete area than to risk rubbing off the crims with my gloves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4375603289768571897.post-58644656851498748762007-05-29T17:02:00.000+01:002007-05-29T17:02:00.000+01:00Just found your blog, brilliant!
