TV often shows one detective solving a case. In reality, a team of detectives + multiple specialists including blood spatter experts, ballistics, a forensic pathologist and a forensic photographer work together to solve a case.

Iโ€™ve noticed that crime #writers often overlook smells in their crime scenes, but theyโ€™re such an important part of every investigation. Smells, whether itโ€™s decomp, chemicals, or something else, tell the CSI team so much about what has happened. Donโ€™t leave them out! #CrimeFiction

For crime fiction #writers: Death from pressure on the neck is called strangulation, NOT choking. Choking is accidental, caused by an internal airway blockage (food, vomit). Itโ€™s an easy mistake, but the terms are not interchangeable.

Don't allow 'ungloved' characters to touch or lean on the autopsy table. Even in the cleanest mortuary, there's a high risk of contamination/infection. NO forensic professional would EVER do this! ๐Ÿ•ต๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ“š

TV crime shows understandably prioritise drama & suspense over accuracy, leading to unrealistic portrayals of crime scenes and forensic investigations.

Crime #writers should be aware many forensic techniques used are exaggerated or completely fabricated.

TV shows often depict crime scene photographers quickly snapping a few photos and then leaving the scene, giving the impression that their work is brief and straightforward. In reality, thorough photography of a crime scene can take hours or even days.

Forensic photographers document fire scenes, aiding investigators in determining the cause and origin of fatal fires and arsons. Forensic photographs translate the chaos of a fire scene into visual narratives that aid forensic analysis.

TV shows relegate crime scene #photographers to background roles. This leads to underappreciation of their vital role. These myths contribute to misunderstandings about the complexity and significance of #forensic photography in criminal investigations.
