(a) The IAIU investigator may make an unannounced visit to the alleged child victim's residence or place where the alleged child victim, or his or her parent or guardian is located, when conducting the investigation.

(b) The IAIU investigator may remove, move or cause to be removed or moved only that clothing necessary to view suspected injuries, when conducting the investigation.

This shall be done only in the presence of an adult supportive of the alleged child victim, except in emergency situations.

(c) The IAIU investigator may photograph or arrange to photograph the alleged child victim's injury or harm, whenever there are visible indications of injury or harm, and subsequently to record the results of the injury or harm, when conducting the investigation.
