Kirk Garrison, a forensics expert who works for the San Bernardino Sheriff’s department, told 404 Media he’s had early success matching 3D printed objects to the machines that made them.
This is “bite evidence” all over again, isn’t it? For those not familiar, cops swore in court they could match a perp’s teeth to bite marks on victim’s bodies.
They couldn’t.
There were a lot of tainted court cases because of their junk science. I’m all for murderers going to prison but lets not use bullshit to lock up perhaps the wrong people.
So much of forensics is bullshit or not quite as accurate as it’s portrayed to the public. People are already primed to accept information from people with titles/degrees and copaganda television cements that trust in these “experts.”

If there is a demand for a forensic capability, there’s someone willing to sell it to a police department (and a jury).
