Transient evidence is evidence that has no meaning or is so false it is easy to see through it. Transient evidence may be lost a short period of time after the crime took place.^[1] It must be identified and recorded immediately upon investigation. If possible, it should be protected or preserved for later review.^[2] For example, weather and witness recollection are considered transient evidence.
