The Tasks of Forensic Analysis of Vehicle Identifcation Markings

Abstract

Special considerations and objectives of the forensic analysis of vehicle identifcation markingsare contemplated. The need to single out the classifcation tasks of such analysis into a separate form along with diagnostic and identifcation ones is corroborated. The issues of establishing original vehicle identifcation markings when conducting investigative actions that are beyond the scope of forensic examination are examined, and non-conventional methods of calculating the check digit of vehicle identifcation numbers that are manufactured in the United States or intended for sale in the United States market are described.
