02 / What it covers
Document item identity and condition at collection so the record starts with a clear baseline.
Log each custodian, storage location, and transfer so movement stays traceable.
Record dates and times with the time zone stated explicitly — Alaska daylight or standard time — so the timeline can be read consistently.
Handle digital evidence with a forensic image, acquisition and re-verification hashes, write-blocking, metadata notes, and retained original media.
Spot common admissibility pitfalls before they complicate professional review.
General information only — not legal advice, and no attorney-client relationship is created.
