Do you ever watch Forensic Files?

I was watching an episode last night that really made me think about eating in restaurants.

They were following a suspect to try and obtain a DNA sample.  So they follow him to a restaurant where he eats a meal alone.  After he leaves they obtain the fork he used and test it for DNA.  When the test comes back there is a weak male DNA sample but a stronger female DNA sample.  He wasn't making out with any waitresses either.  Pretty gross.

First 48 FTW

It's ok

I like the scientific angle on forensic files

It's cool.

Used to watch when I was in high school.  That was 17 years ago.  

Yeah I haven't seen them all but there are some pretty old ones.  Some are classics though.

Like the one with the oil drum marked as hazardous chemicals that sat in a basement of a house for like 50 years through several owners.  That one was crazy

Did you know that in Canada, police don't need a warrant to obtain a DNA sample? Other words, they can say enter a suspects unattended vehicle, take a tube of chap stick and test it for DNA match.. 

There's one episode that happened near me.  The sheriff at the time (who was law enforcement, not part of the crime) who they interview several times in the episode ended up being indicted on some stuff later on and died in police custody.  It was pretty crazy

First 48 and dateline are better shows
