Adventure, Pondering, and Life

A little bit about what I think about on the day to day basis!

More things to wonder about...

Joe was asking why on CSI so they always use flashlights when they are going through a crime scene? Why can't you jsut turn on the lights? Then I thought about it. In most crime scenes people tend to use flashlights rather than turn on the lights. Why is this?

1. Maybe they are using luminol to look for blood and it can only be seen in the dark and it is easier to turn off a flashlight than a light.

2. Maybe they haven't dusted the light switch for fingerprints yet and do not want to destroy evidence.

3. Maybe the murder was committed in the dark and they want to see what the perp saw.

All are nice theories but still wouldn't it be easier to just turn on the lights???

CSIs use thier flashlights because it concentrates their vision to one spot at a time. There is therefore a higher chance of them spotting a starnd of hair or a piece of fibre and other what have yous. Its somethign tts both psychological and physiological. A proven fact. :)
