Evidence
Protocols
Purpose:
To let
applicants, new
members
and
existing
members know
what are
the
procedures
for
evidence
collected
on an
investigation
by the
Philadelphia
Area
Paranormal
Society.
Methods:
-
ALL
evidence
is
property
of
the
Philadelphia
Paranormal
Society
-
Clients
may
request
a
copy
of
either specific
evidence,
the
originals
in
some
cases
or
request
that
we
destroy
all
copies.
This
will
be
done
in
writing
and
agreed
upon on
a
case
by
case
basis.
Remember
we
are
here
to
help
and
learn
not
further
disrupt
clients
lives.
-
ALL evidence
must
be
uploaded
to a
common
area
on
our
server
within
3
days
of
an
investigation.
Exceptions
to
this
are
video
(DVR,
Digital
Video/Camcorder)
which
can
be
burned
to
DVD
if
it
is
to
large
but
must
be
provided
to
the
Director
as
well.
Instructions
and
support
will
be
provided
if
needed.
-
Evidence
may
not
be
shared
with
other
groups
or
people
without
first
discussing
with
the
Director.
Some
evidence
will
fall
under
strict
written
contracts
with
the
client
to
not
disclose
information (non-disclosure)
unless
they
specifically
have
stated
again
in
writing
that
it
is
ok
to
do
so
assume
it
is
not.
Not
following
this
rule
is
grounds
for
termination.
Again
we
are
going
in
to
help
clients
learn
more
about
an
issue
they
are
having
and
we
are
not
there
to
disrupt
their
lives.
-
All
evidence
will
be
reviewed
with
honesty,
accuracy
and
be
done
in a
timely
fashion
-
No
evidence
will
be
embellished
or
exaggerated.
If
this
takes
place
and
is
discovered
this
is
also
grounds
for
termination.
-
Should
you
leave
the
group
you
will
be
required
to
turn
in
all
evidence
or
destroy
it
should
it
pertain
to a
private
case
