  I wonder if there are any statistical correlations between an increase in porch pirates and other crime? Also, I wonder if the Glitter Bomb lessons can be applied using a DNA forensic property marking system to secure nearly 100% conviction rates and fast response by law enforcement seeking to juice their arrest-to-conviction metrics. Might have to leave an actual Amazon delivery in the bait box to secure proof of harm in court? Instead of only spraying glitter, also spray the DNA marker and live narrowcast both GPS and an OpenHaystack transmitter to law enforcement to direct them in real-time to the right door to investigate.

    What exactly is a "DNA marker"?
    • yourapostasy 4y ago
      Synthetically-manufactured uniqely coded DNA that is sprayed onto perpetrators of a crime linking them from days to months to a location and/or property. An example of one of many companies in the space [1]. A search that opens up some rabbit holes [2]. More needs to be done in the space to develop it (there are several defeats I can think of as long as a perpetrator is aware such a system is in use), but it is still a promising channel to speed up investigation, indictment, prosecution, and sentencing.
