CSI is coming to New York and it’s not the TV show. The sheriff’s association unveiled a new crime prevention program Thursday called the Crime Suppression Initiative. It was a scene that felt akin to Futurama's “Welcome to the World of Tomorrow!”

The tagging technology could be the new in-home security system of the future: Think of it like the dye packs placed on money in banks. This high tech invisible forensic marking system is manufactured in a laboratory and uses synthetic DNA. It can be activated through the use of a panic button, money clip, and more.

Each unit of the solution has its own unique sequence code. It is never replicated so the creators of the technology, Select DNA, say it provides absolute certainty when it comes to identifying a suspect.

“All we need is one molecule to be able to analyze this,” said Joe Maltese, executive vice president of the CSI Project. “It can never ever be replicated in the history of the world. So it provides irrefutable evidence a person or item was at a specific location at a specific date and time.”

This solution is supposed to be non-toxic and water-based. It will stay on the skin for about four to six weeks and on clothing for two to three months, even if you take a shower or wash your clothes.

Although the spray is sticky and seems like it could be wiped off onto someone, Maltese says by training forensic units in police departments to spot the difference, a false positive is almost impossible.

“When we do the testing we can tell where it actually came from and if its been transferred or what. There are a lot of safeguards in the testing,” Maltese said.

“We would not build a case solely on this piece of evidence,” said Chief Deputy Lee Bormann with the Albany County Sheriff’s Department. “It’s just a tool we would use with the rest of our evidence.”

Law enforcement says the blue forensic light would only be used once a suspect is in custody. However, New York’s ACLU sent a statement in response saying, “The synthetic invisible mist sounds more like a gimmick than a legitimate investigative tool. Its use raises serious concerns about inadvertently contacting bystanders and is likely to be an insufficient basis for criminal suspicion.”

When the spray was being demonstrated, it did hit everything around the person, including the shoes and people standing close by. Law enforcement stressed however, they won’t base their entire case off this spray.

This technology is currently being used in 30 countries and starting to be used in the U.S. in places like Los Angeles, California, and Knoxville, Tennessee.
