haha "cop science" is definitely how I'm going to think of it from now on. dogs alert when you tell them to, fingerprints aren't remotely unique, DNA evidence is kind of sketchy, and lie detector tests are no better than dowsing
When I was like 17 some cops came to my parents' house to inquire about a crime and they got me alone in my room to talk to teary-eyed me. "I'm really sorry, I didn't do anything and I don't know anything, please leave me alone!" The cop asked me if I would be willing to take a lie detector test, and I said "those aren't admissible right? cause you guys just make up the result?" guy stared at me blankly for several seconds and shrugged and said "we can still ask." never been a doubt in my mind since that day that cops know perfectly well how stacked their science is

Pretty much all of forensic "Science" is cop science. Even DNA analysis is sketchy as hell and they screw it up all the time.
