The Criminal Minds Crime Scene Detail That Has Fans Scratching Their Heads

It's a question that's been getting asked by "Criminal Minds" fans since Season 1, with many taking to social media in recent months and years to air their glove grievances.

"They never wear gloves!" seethed Redditor u/c-est-magnifique in a series discussion thread. "They handle all this evidence at the crime scene with no PPE gear at all," the user continued. "Most shows forget the shoe covers and other stuff but this show has them pressing their clammy oily hands all over fresh evidence." Redditor u/Ok-Painting4471 replied, "Idk why they didn't focus on making that more realistic." Others in the thread agreed, with some listing more instances of bad crime scene etiquette.

"Once my teacher made us watch Criminal minds in [forensics science] class and point all the errors," said u/Comprehensive_Ad4689. "Eg., Reid not tying hair up. Emily wearing heels on crime scene. Hotch not wearing gloves."  Redditor u/Skeptic135 added, "Don't even get me started on the non-existent search warrants." 

Those looking to catch up on "Criminal Minds" but don't have Netflix can find the CBS series on Paramount+ with a paid subscription, or you can purchase episodes on Amazon and other streaming apps where it's available.
