As the guy who originally suggested this in the discord, GREAT IDEA! Also fuck you for stealing my idea. 
I'd point out, again, this is much more flawed that it first sounds. You'd have to find blood, fresh blood, which means have to get to a crime scene fairly quickly. Also, unless the victim was particularly robust, the only blood you're likely to find is probably coming from the murdered victim rather than the murderer.
Blood tracking, I would imagine, would be useful mainly for finding stashed corpses from blood found at murder scenes. Getting lucky and managing to find a bit of blood from a suspect at the scene is pretty rare as it is, and in any case it probably confirms their guilt anyway.
As Crystalwarrior mentioned, blood in the scanner would dry eventually as well, leaving you a short window of time to track down a suspect. It's also a nice incentive for stealthy murderers to clean up their crime scenes, rather than leaving blood scattered everywhere.
I thought this up largely as a way of lessening security's dependence upon the AI to track down suspect's locations, especially on lowpop rounds where there is often no AI or much sec presence outside of the lone-gun detective.
