I've always presumed that the techniques shown on the crop of CSI tv series would be very well researched and true to fact.
However, at times some of the things they do and use seems to border on the edge of sci-fi. Does anyone know if everything shown in the series is 100% in use and relatively reliable for providing evidence?.
Also, surely the large opaque glass walls that they project computer displays etc. on to are shockingly poor if they do indeed use them. They might look very flash and Star Trek but in every case you'd be better viewing a standard screen as opposed to a semi-opaque one with the office background heavily mixed in visually and people walking about.
Additionally, some of the audio evidence and databases they solve crimes with seem a little far-fetched at times.
You know the sort, when they are trying to locate a hostage and are listening to the ransom call, then a CSI says play that back. Lo and behold they will claim to have heard a flea fart and the frequency of the fart means it is of a flea family that only resides in a particular tenement block
(hope i can say fart on here?, i'm in England....if not i of course meant 'pass wind')
