This is why peer review is so important in the forensic process. A second set of (properly trained) eyes can do a lot to catch these types of errors or fraudulent activity.

I see no reason to bother falsifying drug test results. Drugs are easy to identify properly. Fire debris is a whole other kettle of fish which makes independent review even more important.
