I think the "let me put my fingerprints all over the murder weapon" subtrope deserves its own trope. (if only because of how much stupider than the regular trope it is)

I think that's a good idea. I made a YKTTW for it.
See you in the discussion pages.

In all fairness, I could sympathise with those who do pick up the murder weapons; touching the weapon may make the atrocity committed more "real" in the observer's mind, so maybe stupid but not necessarily counter-intuitive.
So, uh... Can't find a Trope Namer for this one on the page, nor any information as to why it's called this. And what does it even mean as a phrase?
