Abstract
A method and apparatus for document and potential evidence management with smart devices is provided. The method includes the steps of authorizing a smart device, verifying a user of the smart device. The smart device is then used to collect a document or piece of potential evidence. As part of the collection process, the user may apply an electronically registerable marking to the electronic record. The electronic record is then uploaded to a record repository. The record repository is a relational database that builds relationships among the documents and potential evidence using the markings applied during the collection process.
