Scientists have crossed the DNA of a crab with a cheetah.

They had to cancel the project because things went sideways *real* fast.

And so it begins:

In Derbyshire a policeman has been discovered using AI * associated technologies to 'create evidential material in a number of cases'....

This may not be new (Police have fabricated evidence in the past) but AI makes it much easier & more difficult to detect!
