[QUOTE="GlockPride, post: 3054087, member: 12153"] I've always wondered with a little pressure or influence how 'easy' it would be to fake evidence. You get taken in or suspected of a crime. Hey, warrant here says we get DNA and hair samples. Takes hair sample, places it under microscope and takes a picture. Takes same hair, moves to another slide, takes picture of 'hair' supposedly found at crime scene. Case made. Voila! You're guilty in a court of law. Same way with DNA. I've been very suspicious and critical over the past few years. The "data results" are only as truthful as the test operators. And they can be under tremendous pressure from bosses and prosecutors who are judged on getting the highest conviction rates possible so that they can keep their jobs. Sad state of the legal system. I'm not saying it goes on everywhere or that no guilty people should ever get convicted, just saying there has got to be a percentage between 1 and some number that evidence gets 'manufactured'. I truly believe that if the 'man' or the .gov wants you, they'll get you. [/QUOTE]
