23 paragraph (3) is limited to a period of 48 hours. Within 24

23 every reasonable attempt to only photograph the crime
24 scene or traffic crash scene and avoid other areas.

1 locate victims, to assist with immediate victim health or
2 safety needs, or to coordinate the response of emergency
3 vehicles and personnel to an emergency. As used in this

25 purpose of creating maps and determining appropriate
26 access routes, staging areas, and traffic routes,
