About paper bags..
Paper should be used for items that need to breathe. Fingerprint evidence, pillows, comforters, etc. go in paper. Wet items go into paper. If you seal a bloody shirt in a Ziploc, it will putrefy and be ruined. Put bloody clothing into paper bags and transport to your station. While it’s drying, place white paper bags under the clothing to collect any trace evidence that falls. Retain the transport bag and white paper bags as evidence. Green marijuana also needs to go in a paper bag; if sealed in plastic, it will mold and won’t test properly.”
