Anyone ever thought about scraping/creating forensic ID databases? Tires, shoeprints, paintchips, etc? Seems like a datahoarding daydream but potentially possible. (zerobytes.monster)

https://nij.ojp.gov/topics/articles/forensic-databases-paint-shoe-prints-and-beyond is a quick glimpse of the sorts of databases I'm discussing - but most of you probably understand.

I'm not sure if I'm daydreaming a freeware open-source way for victims and investigators to use it themselves, or just a gigantic repository of the info backed-up in a dozen EMP-proof places to prevent total collapse and rebuild...not sure I care.

I did a quick glimpse on here and didn't see anything - now obviously most of these databases are either proprietary or at the very least internal - but it doesn't seem illegal (well, Aaron Swartz's persecutors might disagree)...anyways, just a casual thought that came to mind.
