How many of you know what CSI is? Yeah, okay. Well if you’ve watched any of these, umm, TV shows. You know, crime scene investigators they go into a crime scene, right? They rope it off. They cordon it off. Uh, other officers can’t even get in there unless they’re specially trained. Then they start photographing everything. And then they start measuring in great detail everything that’s there. If there’s forensics information they will, uh, put that into special containers. It could be a drop of blood, it could be a drop of sperm, it could be a hair fiber, it could be a footprint, it could be a tire track. If there’s a body laying there it might even be how the body is laying there.
Then they collect all this stuff after measuring it so that they can take it back to the crime lab and recreate it, put it in special containers so there’s no cross-contamination of the forensic material, and then they recreate it in the crime lab. Well anyway so many weeks later they come out of the crime lab and now they are able to say to the field investigators something like we are looking for a Caucasian male between the ages of 25 to 36 years of age, he’s got blonde hair, he’s probably part of a, of an affluent community or this or that or whatever, right? It’s amazing what 200 years of analytical science have taught them how to read crime scene forensics to be able to come up with this information and then that becomes a powerful tool in the hand of field investigators.
Well the, the Birkbeck School of Law put out a press release not long ago and they said as we start going down the human enhancement revolution there will come a time when we’re going to have to create new classes for crime scene investigation. Why? Because if we are looking at a crime scene that, let’s say was a violent rape episode, and the man that perpetrated this is part wolf, everything we know about forensics and profiling may have just gone out the window.
