The various phases of evidence from its initial discovery to its final disposition. The evidence life cycle has the following five stages: collection and identification; analysis; storage, preservation, and transportation; presentation in court; and return to victim (owner).
If probable cause exists and the destruction of evidence is imminent, property or persons may be searched and/or evidence may be seized without a search warrant.
A type of artificial intelligence system based on an inference engine and knowledge base.
An intranet that has been extended to include external parties such as customers, partners, and suppliers. See also Intranet.
