Assignment Details

Collecting evidence is key to help solve crimes. When there is a problem with preservation and collection, red flags are raised during a trial. If given an opportunity to investigate identical twins, interviews and interrogations will be vital in how evidence is presented to the prosecution.

Address the following questions:

What are some ways in which a person’s genetic makeup can impact law enforcement’s ability to get a search warrant?
What are some tactics that law enforcement can use to obtain information from hostile witnesses?
Review your fellow students’ responses. Choose 2 other students’ responses, and work together to strategize how, if you were law enforcement partners, you would gain a search warrant and obtain information in a situation such as the one in this assignment.

For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials.
