    Physical evidence must also be introduced by witnesses, often non police officer experts in that case. All evidence must be introduced by whoever can establish a chain of custody at the least. My point is you can’t plop evidence on the bench and ever expect it to testify but the cops complaining that they themselves aren’t the witness to introduce it is horseshit because evidentiary rules don’t require them to be.
