That’s a bit of a stretch there, FRiend. Cops are supposed to put evidence in evidence bags.
Until someone gets out an evidence bag, and writes the ID on it, what do you do with evidence laying on the ground that is light enough to blow away by a shuffle of the feet? (remember the cop was behind the perp and picked the bag up off the ground). Which officer had official 'control' of the evidence bag ? Was it the officer that is the subject of this discussion ?

It was put in the evidence bag, just put in the wallet first.
And he shows it to several officers to show what he had done.
