primarily the bad use of cadaver dogs isn’t in finding buried bodies but in allegedly being able to say that the body was somewhere else before it was moved, like the trunk of a car or a bedroom etc. cadaver dogs are basically used to frame

Rust gaurantees (except in unsafe code) that off-by-one errors will never lead to reading or writing from outside of safe memory bounds. You can still call `unwrap` on a out-of-bounds vector index and get a panic (panics are considered safe
