Sabre Red and similar pepper-sprays have a UV dye so it's possible to see on whom and where it was deployed under a blacklight.

That sounds like a solution looking for a problem. Anybody who was sprayed, even after they washed the orange crap off their face, is given away by the bloodshot eyes/red face/running nose and pungent smell. Also, I wonder how effective that would be if they put on sunblock[0] before the blacklight test.

That's not what it's for. It's to determine where it was sprayed.
