Which of the following is NOT a location to check for fingerprints?

Identifying locations for fingerprint collection is crucial in forensic investigations as fingerprints can provide critical evidence linking a suspect to a crime scene. While doors, windows, light switches, and weapons or tools are common surfaces where fingerprints may be left, furniture that has been removed from the area is less likely to yield useful fingerprint evidence.

When furniture is relocated, especially after a crime has occurred, potential fingerprints that were once present may be disturbed or wiped away in the process of moving. It also may be challenging to ascertain whether a fingerprint on furniture was made during or after the incident in question. Therefore, furniture removed from the scene is not a standard location to check for fingerprints, making it the correct answer to the question of which option is NOT a relevant location for fingerprint examination in the context of a crime scene investigation.
