Limiting use to basic sensing might make sense. My recollection is that in San Mateo County, California ShotSpotter was used with the specific qualification that it was only to trigger responses and not to be used as evidence. It ended up being a game changer in dealing with the significant problem of guns being fired in celebration. It is true that this happened in mostly minority areas, but that isn't necessarily an excuse to put people in danger with inappropriate use of firearms. For a time whenever there was a shooting police would show up and there were significant problems with vehicle exhaust backfire triggering responses but that went down over time, especially as the shooting stopped.
