The chain of custody is important to follow because it provides a clear audit trail and establishes a clear link between evidence and its source. It prevents any evidence from being tampered with or lost and provides an indisputable record of who had possession of the evidence at what time. This helps ensure that any evidence presented in court is legally valid and admissible.
