Not OP, but probable cause is not "made up evidence." If there's a report of a noise that sounds like a gunshot, and that results in a search of people who are running, and that search finds an illegal gun, that's reasonable.
- woodruffw 4y agoWhy does this scenario presume that people are running? Even with this technology, it seems exceedingly unlikely that police are arriving on the scene within seconds of a possible gunshot; it's much more likely that they're corralling bystanders and frisking them.
- daenz 4y agoAnd why does your scenario presume that the situation is completely cold? The average police response time in Chicago is 5-6 minutes[0]. I'm going to bet that active shootings are on the fast side of the average. Having lived in Chicago for 7 years, I can tell you there are areas where you regularly see police patrolling. 0. https://mediaprogram.maps.arcgis.com/apps/Minimalist/index.html?appid=a12f63bb39af4c65912e034688bfb3a1 https://mediaprogram.maps.arcgis.com/apps/Minimalist/index.h...
- woodruffw 4y agoNot completely cold. I would just be mildly surprised if someone lingered around for 5-6 minutes and then ran. In any case, this is all supposition. We aren’t being allowed to review the actual evidence, so for all I know SpotShotter is just telling the police what they’re asking it to.
- hiptobecubic 4y agoI'm sorry, what's the premise here? People don't run away from random gunfights that happen on the street? Honestly, I feel like it's more likely that a random person is not involved if they are running.
