Whenever you are working at an
outdoor crime scene, it can be very easy for the general public to watch
what you are doing. For example, if the scene involves a dead body by the
side of the road, you might have "rubber neckers" driving by, seeing
unnecessary items and perhaps driving dangerously.
Also, you need to be sensitive about
anyone from the media coming along and photographing the body from a
distance to be published in the newspaper the next day or to be instantly
broadcast on a television news program. This can be very horrifying to the
victim's family and may allow the suspect to see what you have found and
what you are doing at the scene. Preventing the public from seeing the scene
may also help eliminate "false leads" from people seeking attention by
claiming responsibility for the crime. They would be able to tell you what
was at the scene because they saw it on television.
We have produced the Scene Screen
to help give you the security you need at public crime scenes. Use the Scene
Screen™ to shield the evidence, body or other areas of the crime scene from
the view of uninvolved people. Each segment of a Scene Screen™ is 40" high,
6' long, weighs 19 pounds and is made of thick, black canvas material.
Construct the Scene Screen™ or a
series of Scene Screens within minutes. The frame is made of thick, plastic
tubes which are lightweight but sturdy enough to withstand its weight and
any breeze. Velcro® strips hold the dark material on the frame and metal
snaps are used to attach one Scene Screen™ segment to another. The washable
material is heavy enough to use at night where bright lights illuminating
the evidence will not show the crime scene through the screen.
You can purchase the Scene
Screen™ individually or in sets. There may be times when you only need one
and there may be times when you need four screens. Consider purchasing
screens before you see yourself, your evidence and your crime scene on the
local news. |
