 8 law, or a sheriff's department.

 13 nology.
 14 3. Prior to the storage of evidence within a fireproof container or
 15 storage area as required pursuant to subdivision two of this section,
 16 every law enforcement agency shall be required to photograph and docu-
 17 ment such evidence and to store such photographs and documentation in a
 18 separate location which is different from the location in which the
 19 evidence is being stored in a fireproof container or storage area.
