You're assuming this will wind up being like DNA.
Given the history of every other technique the cops have ever used to solve crime I'm betting it's gonna wind up somewhere between forensic bite mark analysis and eyewitness testimony (i.e. not worth shit unless you've got a lot of other stuff to corroborate it). Of course a generation of prosecutors will get to make their careers on this kind of crap before it gets debunked.

Once the police have identified a potential fall guy and they are black, or an immigrant or some other disadvantage, we'll see eyewitnesses come forward to "help" the police officer.
