I actually wrote about that recently:

Basically, there is no freedom any more (if there was any to begin with). Without the ability to tell the truth, and with companies / governments having the ability to know & manipulate everything in your life, your life is not your own.

i'm receiving a 500 database error on your link FYI

We still rely on fingerprints which have never been proven to be unique, much less actual pseudoscience in the USA like "fire analysis." Might as well be dunking the accused to see if they are witches.

Don't forget about shoeprints, dental imprints, drug dogs, and other bunk

Hell, we actually executed a guy based on 'fire analysis.'

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.

Maybe the state and corporations are developing surveillance capabilities because 3rd-party information can't be trusted.
