So if there's been a murder and there's a known possession of the victim sitting on the table, a police officer can act on it. But a drinking glass by itself doesn't indicate a crime in any way, and only does so if the officer takes it for offsite analysis. So is the answer for the drinking glass situation a hard No? | |
