La. Admin. Code tit. 41 § II-311
Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
Section II-311 - Marking EvidenceA. Physical evidence must be marked immediately by the first person who assumes custody to insure that he will be able to identify it at trial. This mark may be placed on the item itself and is usually the person's initials, the date, and time. The chain of custody record should briefly describe the item and the date and place of its discovery. One acceptable method of marking difficult items is with typewriter correction fluid, which will accept pen or pencil markings once dry. If the evidence simply cannot be marked, it should be placed in a sealed container and the container suitably marked and dated.La. Admin. Code tit. 41, § II-311
