Modern and advanced scientific policing techniques are highly desired and
recommended by scientists as well as governments (Table 8). However, due to the
rapidly changing natural of today's technology, its considerable expense, and the need for
highly trained personnel to use it, the level of technology used in each country varies
along a huge flabellum. Most of the countries use at least some level of technology and
some degree of advanced scientific policing techniques in their police organizations.
On the other hand, some scientists including Marx (1998 & 2000), the leading
figure to support technological methods as a way to better democratic policing, have also
indicated that high levels of caution must be exercised when police work and science are
combined. Technology can be used by police to invade individual privacy, and privacy is
a central element of democracy (Coleman, 2001).
