I spent the five happiest years of my life in a morgue. As a forensic scientist in the Cleveland coroner’s office I analyzed gunshot residue on hands and clothing, hairs, fibers, paint, glass, DNA, blood and many other forms of trace evidence, as well as crime scenes. Now I'm a certified latent print examiner and CSI for a police department in Florida. I also write a series of forensic suspense novels, turning the day job into fiction. My books have been translated into six languages.
Thanks for asking! I wish kids would stop cutting and pasting their homework questions for me to answer for them.

Again, I'm not an expert in public safety policy, so I don't know any more about the implications than you do.
Share Answer: 
I am an expert in some areas of forensic science. I am not an expert in law, public safety policy or our political system.

OK seriously, how DOES the clown car thing work?
That's quite possible, the body reacts with the fetal position to many circumstances. I responded to a fatal traffic accident--it actually happened right in front of me--and the victim was thrown from the truck, and that's exactly how I found her. However, bodies and causes of death are really questions for a pathologist.
Share Answer: 
I don’t know. Luckily I don’t have to deal with those cases other than assisting in a search warrant, since I am not trained in downloading computers and phones (my coworker does that). I think you’’d have to ask a lawyer.
Share Answer: 
Nope. I’m lucky to have a pretty cast iron stomach.
