Designación de laboratorios forenses en condados grandes

Explicación Simple

Si la policía encuentra una pistola, deben llevarla a un laboratorio especial para que la revisen. Esto ayuda a saber si la pistola se usó en un crimen.

Es como llevar un coche a un taller después de un accidente. El mecánico revisa todo para ver qué pasó y cómo arreglarlo.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que, en el condado de Clark, la policía encuentra una pistola en la escena de un robo. Después de asegurar el lugar, llevan la pistola a un laboratorio forense, donde la examinan y hacen pruebas para ver si está relacionada con otros delitos.
