On today’s episode of Uncanny Valley, we discuss how WIRED was able to legally 3D-print the same gun allegedly used by Luigi Mangione, and where US law stands on the technology.

Factually, they illegally searched his bag without a warrant at the mcdonald's, repacked the bag, put the bag in a police vehicle and drove to the police station without bodycam, and then turned bodycam back on to search the bag again and instantly "find" the ghost gun in his bag, which, without a serial number, is conveniently impossible to prove it was not planted.

The motion goes on the state that once that officer’s body cam footage resumes, it shows her immediately re-opening and closing the backpack compartments she already searched and then opening the front compartment of the backpack “as if she was specifically looking for something. Instantly, she ‘found’ a handgun in the front compartment.”

Funny that they never deny the gun was his, just that the search was unconstitutional.

There's no reason to deny invalid evidence
