There is a very big difference between a system that can localize gunshot sounds and surveillance drones.
Assuming, of course, that the gunshot detectors are in fact special gunshot detectors and not a giant array of normal microphones with some algorithms applied to them.
- MiroF 6y ago> Assuming, of course, that the gunshot detectors are in fact special gunshot detectors and not a giant array of normal microphones with some algorithms applied to them. Why is your statement based at all on that assumption? I don't see what makes surveillance drones necessarily worse than human cops flying helicopters overhead with cameras (which I know for a fact occurs in my city). What makes the "drone" part problematic?
- sitkack 6y agoScale, oversight. Would you mind if we had one cop per person and followed them around in public at 20 foot distance everywhere they went?
- kfrzcode 6y agoI mean, a human in a helicopter is NOT the same as Gorgon Stare[0]. That's what's problematic, to me, anyhow. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorgon_Stare https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gorgon_Stare
- MiroF 6y agoBut if a human is piloting a helipcopter with a "gorgon stare"-esque technology attached, seems pretty much the same. I guess I'm unsure what about the autonomous flying is what draws people ire, rather than just overhead surveillance as a concept.
- abqio 6y agoLooks like they have an app for law enforcement. It does provide some audio. >gunshot audio to gain situational awareness, and; precise location of the gunshot to search for evidence. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/shotspotter-respond/id1096820077 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/shotspotter-respond/id10968200...
