I would think they would be required, as any forensic evidence protection
would involve, to protect the integrity of the original system.

I would think its chain of possession too.

Not to say your are right.  But how is any evidence like this valid?
Network logs, etc.

I mean, if someones fingerprint is on a knife, how is anyone to prove the
circumstances.  How do we know video evidence is not faked?

I think protections could be put in place.  Like images of systems
uploaded/shared between the defense and prosecution to show non
modification.

I don't know.  Trials are a crap shoot.
