This tech has proliferated across cities in the US by claiming to be a "force multiplier". That's supposed to mean it makes police more effective at their mission without actually adding any additional headcount.
But if 70-90% of the time the tech is sending police on goose chases that end with no findings, it seems like "force multiplier" falls into one of those marketing buckets where the truth is the exact opposite. The tech actually divides police from the mission.
Many, many cities are siphoning off public taxpayer dollars and sending them to this company.
