Abstract:

An carrying container and method for holding and transporting evidence, the case having a base portion and a cover portion and both vertically and horizontally adjustable securing means. The base portion has multiple support bars upon which slidably affixed support racks or U-clamps are positioned. The adjustable support racks or clamps position the item to be carried and securely hold the item placed therein. A storage compartment may also be incorporated. The container has a port or vent through which fingerprint dust fixative can be injected to fix fingerprint dust that has been applied to the item so that latent fingerprints can be identified. The container protects the item from damage and minimizes physical contact with the item and thus protects and preserves any latent fingerprints that may exist on the item.
