It would be perfectly possible to have people who are trained to preserve evidence who are not also traditional police. E.g. a medical examiner of some kind. You want someone to work with traumatized victims delicately, and a uniformed cop with a sidearm is not the ideal presence in that case. I don't want to get into suspect present/absent/whatever; but this type of crime isn't necessarily done by a random stranger in every case.
- fastball 6y agoThis hypothetical trained medical examiner won't be wearing a uniform? Seems like a uniform might be a good idea. As to a sidearm – if I'd just been raped, someone showing up to protect me with a sidearm sounds like just the ticket. Not sure what you are saying about a suspect not being a random stranger, that doesn't seem particularly relevant to whether or not the suspect is still there.
