Hello Rudaj snitch, the Human Genome Project was started in the year 1990 and not finalized until April 2003. My KEYBOARD is broken so excuse broken language. This is the low estimate, by the year 1991 in the USA about 1,500 people were convicted using DNA as a sample. This was the minimum number estimated by multiple AI/ Large Language models. The maximum number was about 3,000 in year 1991. But when I scaled it up to year 2000 suddenly the minimum number was about 50,000 cases used DNA as primary evidence. Yet, the project was finished in 2003. ''
It is the YEAR 1990 April, even if it was 5 years later, 1995
To automatically collect DNA you need somewhere to store such information, you'd need at least floppy discs or hard-drives. But they are purposely rare. Since it is the year 1990, I will not repeat it again, it is 1990 DNA exists - BRAND NEW method. To instantly store information in the year 1991 or before, your best bet is a notepad and eyes, these both exist in game. CCTV is lacking in this city, but it is improving, some business have paid 50,000 for CCTV or something lately to keep them legal. DNA, even in the big 26' it is not fully guilty beyond a doubt. I could be with a buddy hitting licks on houses, but he uses my crowbars, tools, pistol (RETARTEDED, NO ONE IS TOUCHING MY GUNS in Diverge) etc. I'd simply clean the the tools with alcohol, like if it was 2026. In character, I'd go buy alcohol wipes from urban outfitters and CLEAN EVERYTHING. Even today alcohol is OP. '
Now I just fully read your post, you are asking for DNA matching. I am from the United States, I live according to Google in the 2nd most surveilled state. I went to jail IRL in April 2024. They only took my mugshot and fingerprints because I was charged with misdemeanor battery. Remember, this was in year 2024 in Surveilled city, I didn't get a DNA test swab because I was not charged with a felony. It is a requirement in my 2nd most surveilled city in USA, that you can only collect DNA from a suspect during processing if he WAS ALREADY A CONVICTED FELON / is being CHARGED WITH FELONIES.
TLDR; It's April 1990 bro, you really think police&federeal agencies really have the resources to mass sample DNA against another DNA to confirm it is a match? sure, if you are the super-detective, in the year 2026 that is. in 1990 you'd be calling NASA or DARPA desperately to fill your quota.
It's 1990, if you can't solve a crime like the old cops IC and OOC, DON'T BE A DETECTIVE. in the year 1990 bullet casings, stalking business fronts, doing your diligence as a super stalker detective in 1990, hang out and chat with a wire, I'm serious!
It is the year 1990 IC.
