I see nothing wrong done by ShotSpotter.
It accurately reported the location of a noise that sounded like gunfire.
What is timely about this?
Do you want the police to not investigate gunshots? I don't care about how they approached the scene, their training has nothing to do with ShotSpotter which is the discussion at hand.
Also fireworks are illegal to set off in Chicago so no legitimate activity was interrupted.
- remram 3y ago"interrupted activity" is the worse euphemism I have ever seen for a child being shot, even in the USA.
- incanus77 3y agoAs detailed in the article, the placement of ShotSpotter sensors in the Albequerque area roughly correlates to wealth and class. And it details the ShotSpotter culture of secrecy around sensor placement, so that even police departments don't necessarily know where the sensors are. Combine that with the racially-charged patterns of policing in this country[1][2], where certain populations are disproportionately profiled and experience use-of-force incidents. It's extremely timely in the sense that at present, we have systemic problems with where police force is being directed, and ShotSpotter is likely helping tip those scales — but not in the right direction.
