All kinds of evidence analysis belong outside of police agencies and prosecutors' offices. Evidence analysis should be independent and not beholden to the criminal justice system. It should serve the cause of exculpation is that is where analysis leads. Perhaps it should be a branch of a state science office that also serves environmental protection enforcement and other functions.

Otherwise it will inevitably lead to the use of junk science and to systemic and individual corruption.

In the case of IP addresses, such an arrangement should be structured to advise that a warrant should not be issued unless multiple sources of hard evidence point to a particular location.
