There have a few articles covering this shit - 1) lots of crimes go unsolved because cops misidentify the make/model/serial number of the gun and 2) that journalists fail to do their basic due diligence when it comes to reporting on guns - simply out of laziness (or anti gun sentiment). Maybe not SPD but most of the deputies I know are firearms enthusiasts. When we find a gun we're usually really precise about what make, model, serial number, how many rounds left in mag, is slide locked open etc. But #2 is definitely true. As for the biohazard tag, I'm assuming it is from our "suspect" bleeding on the gun. We have red biohazard bags for stuff that is contaminated with bodily fluids, but guns usually just get zip tied into a firearm evidence box. |

This is because many guns look alike and the nuances can be fantastically minute and critical to a successful trace." |
