For complex cases that lack evidence, it is often difficult for courts to give correct judgments. As we all know, 3D scanning technology can create virtual scenes of crime scenes, restore the truth, and investigate criminal cases.
Recently, the US police investigated the case of a 12-year-old child, Tamir Rice, who was killed by the police on the spot. The 3D scanner provided by FARO was used to restore the virtual crime scene, so that the jury can really feel the perspective of both parties at the time of the incident. Possible misunderstandings and behaviors.
The reason for the case is this: the 12-year-old Tamir Rice plays in the middle of the square and carries a toy BB gun. The incident was caused by witnesses who saw the guns he carried and thought that it was a real gun and called the police loudly. The policeman Timothy Loehmann, who heard the sound, also mistakenly thought that Rice was carrying a real gun, so he was killed on the spot.

Virtual crime scene made by 3D scanning technology
Since the court and the jury were unable to determine whether it was possible to discriminate whether the guns carried by Rice were true or not from the police's point of view, and whether the eyewitness of the call correctly transmitted the information, and the surveillance video could not show whether Rice had stated the behavior of the gun. . Therefore, the trial of the case was in a stalemate and it was impossible to correctly define whether it was a manslaughter or a murder.
The case investigator used FARO's 3D scanner to repeatedly scan the scene and reproduce the entire scene, including blood splatter mode, bullet hole and ballistic analysis, glass reflection, etc., to collect evidence that could not be observed by the naked eye. The virtual crime scene created can make the jury and the judge feel like visiting the scene. From the perspective of the plaintiff and the defendant, they can analyze the possible misunderstandings and behaviors, and what behaviors are unintentional.
At present, the case is still under further investigation, and the final judgment is still unknown. It is gratifying to note that 3D scanning technology can play a key role in criminal investigations, and it can still treat the injured and not misjudge others.
