Q4, It is common practice for the police to wear gloves when collecting evidence or anything that could become evidence, before placing it in a secure evidence bag to minimise the risk of contaminating any DNA or fibres that may be found and used as evidence.
Yet on the 30th June 2003, when Luke was taken to Dalkeith police station to be stripped and all items of clothing retained for forensic testing, the 2 police officers collecting Luke’s clothing had half of the clothes in a bag before one officer stopped and said to the other, "should we not be wearing gloves for this?"
They then proceeded to remove the clothes already packed out of the bag put on gloves and then procedeed to repack the bag again!!!!!
Who were these incompetent officers?
Were they ever spoken to or were they ever reprimanded for there lack of professionalism?

The thing is it's not just incompetent it's sneaky too, because if in court they are asked "Did you wear gloves?" they can say yes without perjuring themselves.
