Presumption of authenticity for material found in searches and surveys confers evidentiary weight to documents. Material found in a person's possession or control during a search or survey is presumed to belong to that person; the contents of books and documents are presumed true; signatures and handwriting are presumed authentic to the person they purport to be; and documents stamped, executed, or attested are presumed duly stamped, executed, or attested. The identical presumptions apply where material is delivered to a requisitioning officer, treated as if found in the person's possession or control.
