Explanation

In any criminal investigation, the very first step must be obtaining a legal search warrant before any evidence collection or scene documentation begins. Without a warrant, any evidence gathered may be inadmissible in court. Only after legal authorization is obtained can investigators proceed to document the scene, identify wireless devices, and detect wireless connections. Skipping this step can compromise the entire investigation legally.
