Go plant some DNA on yourself former cop.

I was hoping to learn the way it was “easy” for a cop to plant DNA evidence.

I go away disappointed.

But damned if I will ever smoke a cigarette around a cop! ;) I know a LEO followed a suspect and picked a discarded butt up off the ground - and they got a saliva match based upon that.

But this was a case - as is most common - where they HAVE DNA - but they don't have a match. They had a suspect - but not enough evidence to subpoena DNA. The court ruled that the suspect had no expectation of privacy regarding his DNA on a improperly discarded cigarette butt.

All unwarranted acrimony aside - I still would like to know how a cop can “easily” plant DNA evidence.

One thing about the OJ blood sample hypothesis is that such samples are preserved in a liquid state via anticoagulants - it would be quite detectable on any subsequent blood spots at a crime scene - if it was tested for.

So even if they had a vial of OJ blood to contaminate the crime scene with - it would itself be ‘contaminated’ with anticoagulants.

Well, smartboy....the blood DID have anticoagulant in it. Apparently you got all your information from Geraldo and Marsha Clark.

And I gave you an example of how it can be done. Now go find a cop whose butt you can kiss.
