If you live under a system where the justice department cannot be trusted to find truth in good faith, then that is the problem. Not the tools at their disposal. It doesn't matter the tools. Every tool used to date can be abused.

But if DNA, video and audio can be used to help the justice department find truth, then I don't know why they get hated on so much. And if they are dishonest, I would rather make them go through the effort of faking DNA evidence and manipulating video instead of simply lying about confessions and coercing witnesses into making false statements.



Quantitative facilitation brings a qualitative change.

Even if you already have a justice department you don't trust, the abundance of tools that can be abused, can make the situation 10 times worse.
