On Twitter, a forensic expert shared tips on how to leave no traces at a crime scene, send the body to the bottom for sure, and explained why latex gloves are better than textile ones. In short, here are 50 tips from a pro on how not to get caught at a crime scene.

1. Wear gloves. And latex ones are better. Textile ones usually leave traces, and they can be used to prove that you were at the crime scene.

2. Wear shoe covers. Shoe marks are almost the same as fingerprints.

3. Fingerprints remain well on glass, car bodywork and other smooth surfaces. Worse - on plastic and paper. But there are still methods for detecting them.

4. Never take your passport with you "on the job". There have already been so many fails when a robber lost his passport.

5. And you shouldn't take your phone either. Just like calling someone who could become your victim from it.

6. DNA. Do not leave biological traces, although this is impossible unless you came "on a job" to the RCBZ.

7. Never PR yourself at the future crime scene. Because no one has canceled the neighbors and grannies at the entrance. And eliminating them all is a lost cause)

8. Do not steal an iPhone. Because it is the easiest to find and is found more often than other phones.

9. By the way, look in advance where the cameras are. There are a lot of them around the city. True, not all of them work, and the quality of some is not very good. But still...

10. Remember what you touched, and remove fingerprints. Maybe you were standing on the floor and drinking beer. And then you left the bottle and left. Take it with you.

11. By the way, ammonia destroys all biology well.

12. By the way, fingerprints remain on the inside of latex gloves. So take them with you.

13. We do not disdain to rummage through the trash near the house. So you should not throw anything in them.

14. Don't be greedy. If you stole two million, take a rest, and don't think that you are lucky, and go burglarize another apartment. Many people are already in prison because of greed.

15. Offended women will rat you out first. So it's better to be a bachelor in the criminal world.

16. If you're driving "from work", obey the traffic rules.

17. And don't run from the patrol police. So many people have been caught when these guys suddenly started running away.

18. If you were drinking with the victim, clean up all the bottles after yourself, following fact number 13, and wash the dishes.

19. Sometimes it's harder to stage a suicide than to cover your tracks. But the choice is yours.

20. If you need to tie up a person, use plastic zip ties. They're better than rope, tape, and handcuffs.

21. A plastic zip tie leaves a minimum of traces, unlike other means of tying up, which leave a whole bunch of them.

23. Stay away from the crime scene. I mean, don't commit crimes.

24. You shouldn't drive "to work" in your own car. It's better to rent one and remove the license plates right before the scene. Then you screw it on - and that's it.

25. And if you did go in your car, you don't need to keep the instruments of the crime in it. And after each "case" do a dry cleaning of the interior or a complex.

26. The most normal series that show how to hide crimes are "Dexter" and "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation".

27. If blood gets on your clothes, burn them. Even if you think it didn't, burn them too. In the forest. Outside the city. Far from the metro.

27. If a girl asks for money after sex, it's better to pay. Otherwise, regular sex will turn into rape with all the consequences.

28. Confuse the investigation. One guy left a big toe print. And he washed all the others. And when he was caught, they couldn't understand anything.

30. Even a bare butt leaves traces. There was once an examination of a bare butt and a butt print. And you have to prove that the print was left by it. In France, I think.

31. And there are also scent traces. They are removed and, when necessary, given to a dog to sniff. And the dog determines who it belongs to. It's a pity that this is not developed here.

32. By the way, fingerprints or gloves are very bad at leaving traces on a dusty surface. But shoe prints are amazing.

33. By the way, in addition to fingerprints, there are also palm prints. Think about it.

34. No matter what they show in the movies, but after, for example, a gun has been in water for a day, fingerprints can no longer be removed.

35. After stealing a car, go over the seat where you were sitting with tape or sticky tape to remove microparticles.

36. A medical mask is better than a full-head mask. Because it doesn’t show. Many people wear them around the city.

37. Wash your clothes after a shot.

38. Wash your body after a shot. And it’s better to wash it a couple of times. Pay special attention to your hands and head (hair, behind the ears).

39. When you break a safe, plaster particles can remain on your clothes.

40. Microparticles of clothing can remain on shards of glass.

41. Never steal from your neighbor’s house. The dog will lead you there.

42. By the way, DNA can even be removed if a pickpocket picked your pocket. But again, I repeat, this is not yet developed here. So, for now, keep it low key.

43. While you're at someone else's place, never take off your gloves, even if you've finished the "job." You'll forget and you'll grab something anyway.

44. If you need to go on a reconnaissance mission for a future "job," put on a bright red wig. If anyone sees you, they'll only remember your red hair.

45. It's very difficult to hide a corpse. So, just don't kill people.

46. There may also be a lot of interesting things left under the victim's fingernails. Solution: trim your nails and take them with you. Or dip your fingers in boiling water.

47. Traces show up better on light-colored cars than on dark ones. Based on my experience, it's probably all about the powder.

48. People who like weed or other crap have really sweaty hands. Sometimes I can even tell if someone is a drug addict by this sign. Use cream.

47. To hide a corpse in the sea or a deep lake so that it doesn't float up, just rip open the stomach.

48. Bite marks can prove that you bit an apple, chocolate, or other hard food. Don't eat at the crime scene.

49. Once they took a fingerprint from a piece of paper that was used to cover the peephole on the neighbors' door. Draw your own conclusions)

50. If you nevertheless went "to do the job" or accidentally committed an illegal act, do not fuss. Fuss and lack of a "cool head" will ruin everything.
