What is the Chain of Custody Why Does it Matter? | Hessler Law hesslerlaw.com blog what-is-the-chain-o hesslerlaw.com blog what-is-the-chain-o
The chain of custody requires that from the moment the evidence is collected, every transfer of evidence from person to person be documented and that it be provable that nobody else could have accessed that evidence. It is best to keep the number of transfers as low as possible.
There are three main aspects to a chain of custody: control, continuity, and documentation. Control. This aspect refers to maintaining physical control over the evidence presented at all times. Continuity. This refers to keeping track of who had access to the evidence and when the access was granted. Documentation.
Evidence requires conscientious handling to avert tampering. The chain of custody is the sequential documentation or trail that accounts for the sequence of custody, control, transfer, analysis, and disposition of physical or electronic evidence.
