anyone fancy being a forenics tog?

I'd love it, but i am pretty certain you need some decent qualifications so that if your photos are used in court they can't argue that you don't know what you are talking about.
 
This may not involve much crime scene work, although they 'forensic tog' job advertised may wear the moniker 'photographer' a lot of the work could be filing and making prints etc. and maybe a bit of studio stuff, injuries, stills of exhibits. The CSI's *may* be the actual crime scene togs, it works like this in quite a few places I understand.
