§ 42825 Evidence Admissibility Across Counties

Key Takeaways

  • •If a police officer collects evidence in one county, it can be used in court in another county.
  • •Evidence doesn't have to stay where it was found—it can travel to where the trial is.
  • •This helps catch bad guys even if they commit crimes in different places.

Example

A police officer in Los Angeles finds stolen items in a car during a traffic stop.

Even if the car theft happened in San Diego, the evidence from Los Angeles can be used in the San Diego court to prove the person stole the car.
