Law enforcemnet uses scientific evidence, DNA, finger prints, trace, etc. to identify a suspect and provide enough probable cause to go to trial. Once at trial evidence is used to establish a suspects guilt and prove such beyond a reasonable doubt. This science is called forensic science and, as evidence, is often more reliable than eye witness testimony if it is handled professionally and interpreted objectively.
