Seizure of evidence
in Criminal and Misdemeanor Law ·
Hey there! I’ve got a question that might sound a bit silly, but honestly, nobody has ever given me a straight answer. I've seen it happen on TV a few times—the arrest of Bill Clinton really brought it to mind—where police officers seizing evidence from a suspect don't just grab the computer itself. It makes sense, right? But I just don't get why they bother hauling away the monitor, the mouse, and even the cables too. It seems like a lot of extra work, doesn't it?
