I didn’t read the article, but the author seems to believe “traceability” is the magical elixir that will cure all crime ills.
There was a thread yesterday showing that a very low fraction of murders in Chicago result in conviction (less than 10%, I think).
So, how, exactly, does this magical traceability help solve capital crimes? I just did some google searches on this and found no data — just some articles on how crime labs can theoretically trace guns to solve crime.
Methinks the author has watched far too many episodes of CSI SVU.
