212 statement

Undue influence manifests as Investigating Officers requesting details about the case before the lab analysis report is issued, which is against lab practices designed to protect analyst independence.

“Undue influence, Commissioner, will manifest by saying, what is the case that we submitted? What is it? Before the report comes out. Which is not the practice of the lab, because the practice of the lab is that the Investigating Officer will only know the results of the case that they have submitted when the 212 statement is issued to them. When the case has gone through all quality checks and everything, then a 212 statement will be given to them. So the undue influence is, you cannot give any information before the case, the 212 statement is issued out.”
