Adv Baloyi argues that the failure to call LCRC undermines Colonel Jacob's justification, as fingerprints and DNA should be obtained to prevent contamination and properly link evidence to suspects.
“So, what you have just said undermines your explanation or your justification why we should make nothing of the fact that you did not call the LCRC because you thought, well, anyway, we never get results.”
Adv Baloyi suggests that there is no point in requiring LCRC presence because they never get results, implying the regulation might be pointless.
“You either suggest with your justification as suggesting there is no point in having this requirement for these kinds of seizures... that logical thing must be, well, then there is no point in having this requirement.”
Adv Baloyi raises concern that not calling LCRC risks contaminating evidence and denying the chance to properly link material to suspects, emphasizing the importance of the protocol.
“Which is to contaminate those packages or to prevent the LCRC, deny them a chance completely to uplift any material that may ultimately or possibly be linked eventually.”
