Use cases and dependencies

The useful part of an evidence-bag system is separation. A police scene may produce weapons, items, or contraband that should not be mixed with normal player inventory. A bag-per-case flow helps officers move evidence from the scene to storage while keeping serial numbers and contents readable.

This resource is not a full police framework by itself. Treat it as an add-on for servers already using ox_inventory and ox_lib. Test item names, inventory permissions, bag weight, and storage rules before letting officers use it on live investigations.
