Question

Which of the following results in evidence being declared inadmissible in court? If nothing illegal is discovered Evidence had been in law enforcement possession for more than 61 days The evidence is an illegal item The chain of custody is broken

Answer 1

The correct answer is: The chain of custody is broken.When the chain of custody is broken, it means that there is a gap or inconsistency in the documented process that tracks the evidence from the time it is collected until it is presented in court. This can lead to questions about the integrity and authenticity of the evidence, potentially resulting in it being declared inadmissible in court.
