Tampering with evidence

Tampering with evidence involves intentionally altering, falsifying, or destroying evidence related to a criminal investigation or legal proceeding. This can include planting false evidence, changing original evidence, or hiding key materials to influence the outcome of a case. Such actions undermine the integrity of the legal process, can obstruct justice, and are considered serious criminal offenses. Tampering compromises the fairness of investigations and trials, and those caught doing so may face criminal charges, penalties, or loss of credibility in court.
