The BPS will continue to make a complete mess of the investigations and therefore no system will help until you get that part fixed

Thank you UK govt. That said, this is but 1 tool that we will (gladly) use. The problem with us is that the human factor steps in and SCREWS these cases up. Too many thugs getting off because of mishandling, jury knowing the accused’s granny, “lost” evidence… These are all “human” issues that need to be resolved. But yes, thank you UK Govt for another tool for our prosecution toolbox.

The million dollar question is how ‘strong’ will this evidence be? Will this information/data be accepted by the Courts as legitimate/bona fide from day one? Does our legislation need amending to allow for the submission of this type of data/information? Lets work this out along with the training required etc. so we don’t encounter another significant ‘miscarriage of justice’ as occurred in the Rebecca Middleton case!

Does this mean that up until 2021 we will have had no capability to link shell casings across multiple crime scenes?

This is appalling.
