crime tape
Yellow investigation perimeter
Crime tape is the brightly colored plastic tape—usually yellow with black lettering—that police use to cordon off areas where crimes have occurred or investigations are underway.
The tape typically reads "CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS" or similar warnings.
Also called police tape or crime scene tape: Detectives ducked under the crime tape to examine the body.
