In criminal proceedings, maintaining the integrity of evidence is crucial. The document that must be updated every time evidence is handled or transferred is:
* Chain of custody: This document tracks the history of the evidence, detailing every person who has handled it and every transfer that has occurred. It ensures that the evidence has not been tampered with and maintains its validity in court.
* Licensing agreement: Pertains to software usage rights and has no relation to evidence handling.
* Regulatory compliance: Refers to adherence to laws and regulations, not evidence tracking.
* Incident documentation: Details the incident but does not specifically track evidence handling.
