It's illegal to destroy evidence at a crime scene. Destruction of evidence is the loss, complete destruction, or spoilage of material that could provide evidence in a case. There is a duty to preserve evidence for all parties to a case, and destruction is often viewed prejudicially, as the court assumes that the only reason to destroy evidence is a belief that it could be incriminating or exculpatory, depending on which party destroys it. There may be legal penalties for destruction of evidence. Document shredding to destroy information important to a legal case, or to prevent detection of a crime, is one form of evidence destruction. Evidence can be destroyed in a variety of situations. Sometimes a party with custody of the evidence behaves negligently and loses it or exposes it to risks. For example, a medical examiner may fail to collect DNA evidence properly, making it impossible to test later.
