First off, a security plan for the collected data must be established. No person shall tamper with the data that has been held for evidence and must remain in its original state as when it was collected, as tampered evidence may be thrown out in court. This data must be preserved even after criminal prosecution has been established, as this data may prove useful in future cases. The evidence should be stored on both compact disk and storage drive in case one device of storage was to fail. Digital folders within the storage drive must be well labeled and organized accordingly, as well as folders and file cabinets that contain data CDs. Second, the evidence that has been collected must be identified to the perpetrators as evidence. Just as police are obligated by law to explain to a criminal what his/her charges are when arrested, investigators are obligated to explain exactly what evidence can and/or will be used against the perpetrators in the court of law during an interrogation. Each piece of evidence must be expressed to the person that the evidence was obtained from in a manner in which he/she can understand. This will ensure that the investigators and the perpetrators are on the same level, and the court will not think that the investigators are trying an unfair advantage. This will also allow anything that the perpetrator says to be used against him/her in the court of law. Third, a sequence of events during the investigation must be logged in order to provide to the court a description of what happened and when. This will give the court a better understanding of the crime in itself and why the actions taken were relevant to the case. Also, if the suspect tries to lie about the events that took place during the investigation, the log records may work on the investigators' behalf by protecting their credibility and may also further
