Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Scales or measurement marking devices should only be added to a scene after the preliminary photography and documentation of the complete scene. This ensures that all relevant information about the scene has been captured and documented before adding any additional elements. Adding measurement marking devices before this step can potentially alter or obstruct the scene, making it difficult to accurately document the original state of the scene.
