NATURE AND VALUE
OF PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
Evidence can be defined as something legally
submitted to a court of law as a means of
determining the truth. Physical evidence deals
with material objects. It may be material left or
taken from the scene of a crime by the suspect
or victim, or it might be an impression left in
some material. It includes not only fingerprints
and footprints, but also hair, fibers, blood, arson
accelerants, glass, or almost anything that can
be deposited and collected. Unlike oral
testimony, it is not influenced by the stress of
the moment; it does not forget. Physical
evidence can aid in solving the case by
developing modi operandi (M.O.'s), by
developing suspects, by proving or disproving
alibis, by eliminating suspects or connecting
suspects to the crime, by identifying the source
of stolen materials, and by providing
investigative leads. Physical evidence is often
necessary to prove that a crime had been
committed. For instance, the presence of
accelerants at a fire scene indicates an arson,
and the presence of heroin constitutes a crime if

4 GTSB Iowa Pedestrian/Bicycle Accident Fad Sheet
ADVERSE LIGHT CONSIDERATIONS
A study of police shootings done on a yearly basis
shows that approximately 60% of all police shootings
take place during nighttime hours. With this in mind,
following is information you may wish to consider to
when working in adverse light conditions.
20/20 vision is achievable in relatively high levels of
illumination. As illumination diminishes, or the subject
is viewed slightly off center, vision decreases
dramatically.
Vision tests conducted under moderate to high light
condition shows that vision which is 20/20 in these
conditions, drops to less than the criteria for legal
blindness immediately upon leaving the illuminated
area and entering an area with starlit conditions. (no
artificial or moonlight illumination) During the first 2
minutes of starlight (scotopic) illumination vision is
reduced from 20/20 to 20/800. Under the scotopic
conditions your eyesight is less than 5% the visual
efficiency present in daylight conditions. Central vision
will improve over time. After 12 minutes of dark
adaptation, 201300 or 15% visual efficiency is obtained,
after 30 minutes the best obtainable condition
attainable is 20/180. With the addition of moonlight
20/20 vision is possible when looking directly at
something, but 5 degrees from the center there is a
neurological limit of 20/70. The further from the center
of the optic nerve, the worse it gets. Le. you loose
peripheral vision in low light situations.
The visual system is neurologically wired for a small
area of Gear vision surrounded by concentric circles of
increasingly blurred vision. The brain integrates many
complex processes, which fill in ambiguity created by
poor peripheral visual acuity. The same processes
come into effect as dim illumination results in
ambiguous image formation. The brain calls upon

connected to a suspect
The amount of consideration given to physical
evidence depends on whether the evidence has
individual or class characteristics. Evidence with
individual characteristics can definitely be
identified with a person or source if sufficient
microscopic or accidental markings are present.
Some examples include fingerprints,
handwriting, firearms, bullets, tool marks, shoe
prints, and pieces of glass in cases in which
broken edges can be matched.
Evidence with class characteristics, no matter
how thoroughly examined, will only be placed in
a class or group. A definite identification can
never be made. There is always a possibility of
more than one source for the material found.
Some examples are fibers, soil, paint, and glass
fragments. It is, of course, desirable to have
evidence that can be positively identified, but
cases can be made on evidence with class
characteristics only. This type of evidence can
help build the case of circumstantial evidence or
prove an alibi false. Just as important, this type
of evidence can give a definite negative,
proving positively that a particular piece of
evidence did not come from a particular source.
A bloodstain can be proved not to be from an
individual.
A better case can be made with class evidence
when the evidence has either a greater number
of identifying features or a greater number of
different types of evidence. Identifying features
include layered paint or soil with foreign matter.
A greater number of different types of evidence
is exemplified by rape evidence which may
include hair, fibers, blood, and semen.
Since all forensic laboratories have more
casework than analytical time, the submitting
officer can aid the examiner by fully relaying
the facts of the case. Information given to the
laboratory will establish the direction of the
analysis and may help to determine the
worthiness of the evidence. Many laboratory
examinations are lengthy and expensive. The
efficiency of the laboratory you use is directly
related to keeping the analyst informed as to
what you want, or are looking for.
COLLECTION OF PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
While the specifics of collection of different
types of evidence differs, certain general rules
must be kept in mind. F-! ; ! - P,
1. All evidence must be collected legally-
-either with a warrant„wi H{be -consent
of the owner of ihi ideiita to an arrest.
2. All evidence mmst ,be safely; collected,
packaged, stored; and transferred. This
is of special concern with respect to
bloodborne pathogens. Exposure to HIV
(the AIDS virus) and to the hepatitis B
virus is of much concern in collecting
any evidence that has blood or other
body fluids present in either the liquid or
dry state. This includes garments,
syringes, and other types of evidence
involved in murders, rapes, assaults,
burglaries, and drug offenses. In
general, at least disposable gloves
should be used in handling such
evidence, and safety glasses, surgical
masks, and other safety garments
should be available if necessary. A 10%
solution of household bleach and water
is a good disinfectant for cleaning items
or areas contaminated by such
materials; however, do not use this
solution on the evidence itself unless
instructed to do so by the laboratory
since it could destroy some of the
evidence that should be analyzed.
3. The evidence must be described in
notes. Where it was located, the
circumstances, and how it was obtained
should be recorded along with the date.
4. The evidence must be marked for
later identification. Initials and date,
with proper notes, are usually sufficient.
The use of a case number is highly
recommended. Markings should be
placed on the evidence itself; however,
in cases of liquids, powders, small
fragments, etc., the containers should
be marked and sealed.
5. All evidence should be stored in a
secure place with restricted access. The
chain of custody should be documented.
The laboratory report will include the
information concerning from whom the
evidence was received at the laboratory
and how it was returned or if it was kept
at the lab for pickup by the investigating
department. (Continued pg. 4)

CALEA Update
To paraphrase... this is not the beginning of the end,
but is the end of the beginning. We are rapidly
completing the self -assessment phase of the CALEA
process. In this phase we have developed, addressed
and/or documented the 439 CALEA standards. With
this in mind, the next step is to prepare to have our on -
site assessment by the CALEA representatives. Prior
to their arrival we will arrange to have persons familiar
with the process come in and do a mock assessment.
This will entail the mock assessors reviewing or
compliance with the standards and looking at the
strength of our documentation. We are intending to
arrange the mock sometime in late spring/early
summer. Upon receiving the report from the mock
assessors we will arrange for the formal on-
site/inspection by the CALEA representatives. This will
be sometime in November and will end with our
receiving recognition in March of 2001. During these
next months we will work on refining, strengthening
and documenting our compliance with the CALEA
standards. As part of the formal process, accreditation
personnel may request to speak/ride with officers in
order to verify our compliance with various standards.

memory, selective suppression and enhancement in
forming visual perception. Ultimately, it is the brain
and not the eyes which gives the visual perception.
Visual perceptions that officers receive are influenced
heavily by their training and survival instincts combined
with specific factors of the immediate situation. It is
IMPORTANT to remember that what we see is
determined by the existing light COMBINED with the
perceived expectations of the brain. In a nationwide
study of officer -involved shootings, 25% involved
unarmed suspects.
Since the majority of shootings occur during poor light
conditions, the officer must be able to see clearly
enough to identify the face of a suddenly encountered
stranger or be able to identify what he/she is holding in
their hand. The prime commandment relating to
nighttime encounters, whether in poor light or
darkness, that must always be adhered to is " never
fire at a target that has not been positively identified as
an assailant." (Remember the use of deadly force is
ONLY justified when there is the threat of serious
injury or death)
Your flashlight is a two edged sword. While it is
necessary to illuminate the search area and potential
threats, it also telegraphs your location/movement to
any one in the area. Consider using shorter multiple
exposures from various heights instead of holding the
flashlight at a constant level and constantly on. It is
IMPAIRATIVE that you ALWAYS move away from
wherever the light last was.
Regardless of the technique used for holding your
flashlight, when conducting the search with a drawn
weapon your finger MUST be outside the trigger guard
until you decide to fire. AGAIN, FINGER OUTSIDE
THE TRIGGER GUARD.
If you believe a subject is in a particular area but there
are numerous points of concealment for the suspect, if
there is a light colored or reflective surface, consider
shining the light on the surface to bounce the light at
an angle creating a shadow to give away the person's
position.
Move from areas of darkness to areas of light. This
will minimize your being back lit.

Packaging.
Select suitable containers such as round
pillboxes, glass or plastic vials, or a folded
paper packet (see Appendix B), paper bags,
strong cardboard boxes, etc., for packaging
evidence. Each piece of evidence should be
individually packaged to avoid any possibility of
cross contamination. Special care must be
taken not to package samples with wet stains
until they are dry and then NEVER IN PLASTIC.
Please see the "Blood and Other Body Fluids"
section for more specifics for this type of
evidence. The package should be sealed,
preferably with evidence tape, and initialed.
Please minimize or eliminate the use of staples
since they can tear disposable gloves and skin
tissue and be a source of infection. Keep the
chain of custody as small as possible. Keep the
sealed evidence under lock and deliver it as
soon as possible to the nearest laboratory
providing the services needed.
Any evidence that is a possible source of
infection, especially from bloodborne pathogens
(e.g., HIV or Hepatitis B virus), must be
packaged in a safe manner and properly
marked identifying the contents as a biohazard.
Such evidence includes garments with stains of
blood and other body Fluids, syringes, razor
blades, knives, and contraband from body
cavity searches. Sharps (e.g., razor blades,
knives, or broken glass) must be packaged in
puncture -resistant containers with biohazard
labeling:

Pedestrian/Bicycle
Fact Sheet
During 2000, 22 pedestrians were killed in Iowa traffic
crashes. This figure is up 5 or 29% from 1999 when 17
pedestrians died in Iowa crashes; however, it is 12%
lower than the 1998 total of 25.
During the 1990s, an average of 28 pedestrians have
been killed annually in Iowa traffic mishaps. Pedestrian
fatalities represented 6% of all traffic fatalities during
the decade.
Over one-half of all pedestrian deaths in Iowa since
1984 have been persons under 20 or over 65 years of
age.
During the 1990s, Iowa averaged over 700 traffic
related pedestrian injuries each year.
Pedestrian actions which contribute to pedestrian
traffic fatalities include not crossing the street at
crosswalks, walking in an improper position on the
roadway, running onto the roadway from between
parked cars, and drinking.
Vehicle operator actions which contribute to pedestrian
fatalities include failure to yield, obscured vision,
inattentive or distracted, speeding, and drinking.
During 1990's, over 600 bicyclists have been injured
annually as a result of Iowa traffic crashes.
During the decade of the 1990s, an average of 8
bicyclists have been killed each year in traffic crashes.
Since 1984, over 50% of all bicyclists killed in Iowa
traffic crashes were 19 years of age or younger.
During the same period, over 70% of all bicyclists
injured in Iowa crashes were 19 or younger.
From Governor's Traffic Safety Bureau
According to a study conducted by the Northwestern University Medical School, alcohol intoxication
significantly increases a person's chance of becoming a victim of violent crime. Furthermore, researchers
found that victims of violent crime are six times more likely to be intoxicated than are victims of nonviolent
crime.
According to the NHTSA, pedestrians who are fatally injured are more likely to be drinking than are drivers.
Over 1/2 of all pedestrian fatalities for person ages 16-60 are alcohol related. Approx. 25% of pedestrian
deaths in the 6 to 15 age range are alcohol related. Drivers and passengers killed in fatal crashes who had
been drinking were less likely to have been wearing safety belts.

WT 01-31 Body Armor
This weeks Watch Training deals with the selection care and wearing of body
armor, consistent with G/O 00-04. The attached video runs approx. 14 minutes.
Reminder, personnel are required to wear or carry their body armor while on
duty.

Body Armor
Scenario - General Order 00-04 requires that officers either wear or carry their body
armor with them. "...officers should wear body armor while engaged in field
activities..." it further goes on and states "...officers choosing to not wear their body
armor shall have their body armor readily available in the officer's assigned vehicle..."
This is consistent with the Rapid Deployment training at MATS. In a rapid deployment
situation you will not have the opportunity to stop at the PD to pick up your vest.
Critical Issues - What are the different types/levels of body armor. How should I care
for my body armor? Who determines the "level" of a particular type/brand of vest? All
body armor issued by the department has been "certified" at its' particular level by NIJ.
Discussion - The associated video covers the care and maintenance of body armor,
describes how armor is "rated" and how it works. REMEMBER: An officer not wearing
body armor is 14x more likely to receive a fatal wound than an officer wearing armor.

SUBJECT: WT 01-32 Drug Paraphernalia/ PCS
This weeks Watch Training reviews the drug paraphernalia law passed by the
2000 legislature and PCS charges. It is recommended that officers contact the
county atty. prior to filing a paraphernalia charge.

Drug Paraphernalia
r;'
Scenario - You stop a vehicle for a traffic violation and detect an odor of marijuana
coming from the passenger compartment. You look in and see a pipe ashtray:
Critical Issues - Is the presence of the pipe a violation of the recently passed drug
paraphernalia law? What should be done prior to filing a paraphernalia charge? What is
the penalty for a violation? If the pipe contains product or residue AND you decide to
file related charges, when should this be done?
Discussion - As mentioned in WT 01-05 the week of 07/10/00, in 2000, the Iowa
Legislature passed a law relating to the possession of drug paraphernalia. This section
will be included in chapter 124.414 of the Code of Iowa and is as follows:
Sec. 4. NEW SECTION. 124.414 DRUG PARAPHERNALIA. 1. a. As used in this
section, "drug paraphernalia" means all equipment, products, or materials of any kind
used or attempted to be used in combination with a controlled substance, except those
items used in combination with the lawful use of a controlled substance, to knowingly or
intentionally and primarily do any of the following: (1) Manufacture a controlled
substance. (2) Inject, ingest, inhale, or otherwise introduce into the human body a
controlled substance. (3) Test the strength, effectiveness, or purity of a controlled
substance. (4) Enhance the effect of a controlled substance. b. "Drug paraphernalia" does
not include hypodermic needles or syringes if manufactured, delivered, sold, or possessed
for a lawful purpose. 2. It is unlawful for any person to knowingly or intentionally
manufacture, deliver, sell, or possess drug paraphernalia. 3. A person who violates this
section commits a simple misdemeanor.
During the legislative update it was recommended that you: READ THIS SECTION
CAREFULLY PRIOR TO FILING ANY CHARGE. IN ADDITION THE PERSON
TEACHING THIS SECTION STATED THAT THE COUNTY ATTY SHOULD BE
CALLED PRIOR TO FILING THIS CHARGE.
The following is from the June 2000 Bulletin:
In the past we have received a request from the DCI not to file PCS charges until we
receive the lab results back from them. This was to avoid them having to rush a sample
through because of an impending court date. Effective now, the Johnson County Atty.
has requested that we file marijuana or other "known" PCS charges based on the results
of the presumptive test. Many suspects are charged with an offense and the PCS charge
is left pending waiting for the test results. Often the suspect wishes to plead guilty to the
charge to get the case over with and are unable to do so because the charge has not yet
been filed. In addition it causes credibility problems for the County Atty.'s office when a
defense atty. has a client who wishes to plead guilty to the charge and has made
arrangements to do so and then the suspect is arrested on the PCS warrant when the test
results come back. There have only been a couple of incidents where not having the test
results back have been an issue with the misdemeanor PCS charges.

FROM: k.hurd
SUBJECT: WT 01-33 Illinois v McArthur
This weeks watch training reviews the Feb. 20th U.S. Supreme Court decision,
Illinois v McArthur. In this case officers had probable cause to believe that a
residence contained contraband/evidence and kept the resident from reentering
unattended, while another officer obtained a search warrant.
NOTE: This case varies greatly from Draine v Waterloo which was covered in
WT 01-16 the week of 9/25. In that case officers detained persons for several
hours while officers obtained a search warrant for the dwelling of a third party.
This constituted an arrest based on other than probable cause.
Complete Illinois v McArthur decision is available in the training office.

Illinois v McArthur
Scenario - Officers respond to a residence to stand-by while the female occupant
retrieves some belongings. Upon their arrival the husband is present at the(iesideace�._tk
female enters and gets her property while the officers standby outside. P$�li fn. she
she advises the officers that her husband had slid some marijuana under the sofa.
Officers knocked and the husband came out onto the porch while the officers asked for
consent to search. He denied permission. At this time the husband was advised that he
could not reenter the trailer unless accompanied by an officer, while the other officer
went to obtain a search warrant. The officer returned with a warrant after approx. 2
hours. During this time the husband reentered the residence several times while
accompanied by the officer. Marijuana was found the husband charged. He moved to
have the evidence suppressed because his restriction of the unaccompanied use of the
residence was an unreasonable seizure.
Critical Issues - Does the detention of an individual from his residence constitute an
unreasonable search? What level of certainty must officers have when restricting the use
by the lawful possessor? What if any time limits apply
Discussion - In this case the US Supreme Court held that the circumstances described
above DID NOT constitute an unreasonable seizure. While the 4`h Amendment says "the
right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against
unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated." there are exceptions.
In this case the restriction was reasonable, 1) "the officers had PROBABLE CAUSE TO
BELIEVE that the home contained evidence of a crime and contraband"; "they had a
witness with firsthand knowledge and were able to make a rough assessment of her
reliability". 2) The police had "good reason to fear that, unless restrained, McArthur
would destroy the drugs before they could return with a warrant." "they reasonably
could have concluded that McArthur, consequently suspecting an imminent search,
would, if given the chance, get rid of the drugs fast." 3) The police made reasonable
efforts to reconcile their law enforcement needs with the demands of personal privacy. " "
They neither searched the trailer nor arrested McArthur before obtaining a warrant.
Rather, they imposed a significantly less restrictive restraint, preventing McArthur only
from entering the trailer unaccompanied." 4) The police imposed the restraint for a
limited period of time, namely two hours. "...this time period was no longer than
reasonably necessary for the police, acting with diligence, to obtain the warrant."
The court further added "Temporarily keeping a person from entering his home, a
consequence whenever police stop a person on the street, is considerably less intrusive
than entry into the home itself in order to make a warrantless arrest or conduct a search."
"In sum, the police had probable cause to believe that a home contained contraband,
which was evidence of a crime. They reasonably believed that the home's resident, if left
free of any restraint, would destroy that evidence. And they imposed a restraint that was
both limited and tailored reasonably to secure law enforcement needs while protecting
privacy interests.
