Backfire? I think it helps them. There are no stakes for cops in evidence testing - we arrested a guy, the evidence is messed up? He went free? Alright, oopsy diopsy. Next time we'll just brutalize him and maybe even extrajudicially murder him.
If technology is unreliable, it will either be motivation to not let it get to that point, or it will be flexible/vague enough to allow mass round ups of people.
Yeah I meant to focus on my stakes point but got distracted. What I meant to mention was that its not like cops are in any actual danger at any time. If their tools don't work they don't care - maybe the case goes unsolved, maybe they get the wrong person, doesn't matter they get paid and they still get to harass people.
