> shot spotter is producing a probability distribution about the places where a shot may have been fired, but they're not showing that information, they're showing a point. That's broken. >This is an unreliable system which police and prosecutors misrepresent as reliable. I would argue in american policing, that broken is the point. People (cops, judges, juries, the public) don't engage with anything criminal justice related as probabilistic. If they showed the probabilities, they wouldn't have a product specifically because it would not be able presented as reliable. It's product market fit, like the parallel citizen thread, that serves malicious and anti-social goals. But it is profitable.
