In the event of a flagrant crime, the judicial police officer, who is notified, immediately informs the public prosecutor, goes without delay to the scene of the crime and makes all useful observations.
He ensures the preservation of evidence likely to disappear and of anything that may serve to reveal the truth. He seizes the weapons and instruments that were used to commit the crime or that were intended to commit it, as well as anything that appears to have been the direct or indirect product of this crime.
He represents the objects seized, for recognition, to the persons who appear to have participated in the crime, if they are present.
